It is mostly well known for being a clothing optional beach, which is shared by naturists and clothed people alike.[3] New Zealand has no official nude beaches, as public nudity is legal on any beach where it is "known to occur".[4] Families tend to congregate at the end nearest to the road and pass the hole in the rock (to the middle of the beach).
Breaker Bay is served by a commuter bus (No 30) running on weekdays to the city in the mornings and to the beach in the afternoons.
