A 500m stretch of the beach, which falls within the Mpenjati Nature Reserve, was given official nude beach status by the Hibiscus Coast municipality at the beginning of November.It was hoped that the beach would be open for today's World Naturist Day celebrations, but this will not happen because ablution blocks have not yet been built and bylaws governing the beach have not been gazetted.
Said municipal spokesman Simon Soboyisa-April: "The intention is that this be a proper beach with the necessary infrastructure and, therefore, we agreed ... not to rush to officially open the beach. We have set ourselves a target that we must have it officially opened by the 2015 Easter season."While the final plans are being put in place for the opening, an official "code of conduct" has been drawn up and approved by the municipality and the KwaZulu-Natal Naturist Association, listing 19 things "we do not accept".
