According to STUFF as the waters begin to warm along the coast of Coromandel a group of nudists eye up a discrete spot to sunbath on a remote beach.

Opoutere near Whangamatā – while most commonly known as a surfers beach – has become an increasingly popular place for naturists.

As the mercury rose last Wednesday, a handful of people were walking clothed before baring it all about 5km down the beach.

A couple, from Auckland, told Stuff that Opoutere isn’t specifically a nudist beach, but its remoteness is proving popular for first-timers.

“We are not into voyeurism or swingers. We are just people who love not wearing clothes and enjoy the nature.”
