Mixed Naturist Beach Day at Somers + Men's Naturist Afternoon Tea at Bittern

Enjoy a relaxed day out at the Somers naturist beach.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Easy 7 km circuit walk. It is a pleasant 3.5 km walk along the beach from the car park in Somers towards Sandy Point to a good setup place in the sand dunes. The sand is fairly firm. Walking time is generally about 55 minutes to the setup place. Most of the beach walk can be done minus clothes once we get past the local dog walkers close to Somers. Of course it is another 3.5 km back to the cars at the end of the day. 

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:
This event is for naturists. Enjoy a pleasant relaxing beach day - walk, swim and sunbake with other fellow naturists.

After the beach we have been invited to a men's naturist afternoon tea at a fellow nudist's residence in Bittern, 10 minutes drive away. Afternoon tea, drinks and snacks will probably start around 5pm. (Apologies, the afternoon tea is a men's only gathering).

BOOKING: By Wednesday 3rd February. To register, click on Get Tickets.

NOMADS COVIDSAFE CHECKLIST: Checklist 210206 Beach Day at Somers 

MEETING TIME | LOCATION: 10.45am in the car park at 121 Miramar Rd, Somers. There is no cafe near the meeting place sorry, you will need to bring your coffee with you. (You can get coffee in Bittern at Remuce Cafe or the Bittern Bakery and Cafe). 

We plan to depart from the car park for the beach at about 11.00am. If you should miss us, or wish to come at a different time, walk to the side of the car park nearest the beach and go down the steep steps to the beach. At the bottom of the stairs turn left and walk for about 55 minutes and you should find our camp.

Food Drop off in the Morning: If you'd like to drop off food before you come to the beach, you may drop it at the house in Bittern between 10am and 10.30am. The house is 1 hour 20 minutes, and 82 km from Melbourne - a long way! Make sure you plan your time. From the house to the meeting place it is a 10 minute drive.

Address of the Afternoon Tea House: This will be emailed to all those who have booked by 10pm on Wednesday 3rd February. It will also be given out on the beach day.

TIDE FORECAST: High 7:13am - Low 1:19pm - High 8:18pm. The tides are very much in our favour on this day. The tide will be half way out when we leave from the carpark for the beach and it will still be well out when we leave the beach to come back in the afternoon. (For those who haven't been to Somers, it is quite difficult to climb over the fallen trees on the beach at high tide.)

MAP REFERENCE: Melway map 194 grid F11 | Google map goo.gl/maps/dSyFRvxTgnn. 

DISTANCE | TIME FROM GPO: 86 km, about 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 mins depending on which route you take.

COST: There is no charge for this special beach day. However, you should click Get Tickets to register. 

FOOD and BEVERAGES for the BEACH DAY : Carry lunch, water and any other food/drinks you may like for the beach day.

FOOD and DRINKS for the AFTERNOON TEA: Please bring some food to share for afternoon tea at the Bittern residence after the beach day. Tea and coffee will be provided. Bring cold drinks if you would prefer those.

APPAREL: Sunscreen, hat, sun glasses, footwear if the sand is hot. Shorts required to get from car park to the naturist beach.

EQUIPMENT: Towel. A picnic blanket with plastic backing or a large plastic sheet is handy, because in some places the grass seeds stick tightly to your towel and are very hard to get out. You may wish to bring a sun shelter. The tea tree provides quite good, but not complete shade cover. Sporting equipment such as a frisbee, tennis ball, larger ball, small cricket bat etc. could be fun.

LEADER: Peter H. | Email the Leader if you have any questions.
