Buchan Point Beach in tropical Far North Queensland has been an 'unofficial' Free Beach since the 1950's. Situated 30 kms north of Cairns in a sheltered cove, the golden sands and calm waters of Buchan Point Beach has been a favourite of locals and tourists for more than 50 years. Many families have returned year after year for their holidays to enjoy the freedom of nude bathing .	Attention: Nudists may be encountered beyond this rock.
