A picturesque beach a stone's throw from the tourist mecca of Noosa has become embroiled in a debate over people's rights to bare all.

Alexandria Bay in the Noosa National Park has long been an unofficial nudist beach, but police say the practice is illegal and claim it attracts people who commit indecent acts.
