The only unofficial nude beach is Plage des Nudistes, which is located on Nouville peninsular near Nouméa. It is not well known by tourists and attracts mostly males.

New Zealand

There is no law prohibiting nakedness in public. In cases of ‘public nakedness’ the police go to the Summary Offences Act 1981 and consider, S27 Obscene/Indecent exposure; S4 Offensive behaviour; or S4 Disorderly behaviour.

In 1991 an appeal to the High Court won and determined that the legal definition of 'offensive' was not met by mere nakedness, even in the presence of children, on the grounds that a reasonable person would "regard the conduct... as inappropriate, unnecessary, and in bad taste, but not arousing feelings of anger, disgust, or outrage." There had to be 'intent to offend'. Public nudity on beaches is generally not enforceable. There have been a number of successful legal challenges to being naked in a public area, including cycling and running, so long as there was no intent to offend.

In 2012 a number of complaints regarding behavior at Auckland beaches led to warnings being issued by police at some which have a history of use by naturists. However, no official action was taken.
