Sunnyside Beach
Straights occupy first 200 metres of beach, then you enter a whole new world for the next 400 metres. It's 99% gay nude. Naked men constantly walk up and down parading. Best cruise place is the rocks at the Mt Eliza end of beach (also the legally designated end of beach). Men go past this point into bushes on next cove of beach, past nude beach. Otherwise, toilets in car park or bushes on dirt track on far side of car park.

Etiquette
Keep your eyes open. Erections on nude beach are an obvious sign. Ignore the first 300 metres of nude beach. These are straight's.
Nudity: Yes / Legalised nude beach. 98% male, 80% gay male on beach.
Safety
On hot days you could have a 1.5km walk just to get to the beach, let alone the 500 metres along the beach to get to the nude area, having to walk 500 metres over rocks to get to the nude beach. Clothed men walking up and down beach perving and refusing to get their clothes off. Local residents (a predominant and wealthy well-known retail family own the land behind nude beach) walk beach harrassing bathers, especially gay males. Unconfirmed reports of undercover police patrolling beach in clothes.
