And while nudity will be legal on this designated stretch of beach in southern KZN, there will be plenty of rules governing conduct.
The rules go from the more obvious such as no photographs without expressly sought permission, to the more subtle, such as not staring at other beachgoers, avoiding provocative dance moves and avoiding sitting on someone else's beach chair...
According to a report by TimesLive, naturists had hoped to open the beach today on World Naturist Day, but opening to the public has been postponed pending the building of ablution blocks and the by-laws which still need to be processed.
Soboyisa-April has worked with the KwaZulu-Natal Naturist Association to ensure that the beach is prepared properly, adding that both they and the municipality agreed that it was worth going through the proper processes.
"We have set ourselves a target that we must have it officially opened by the 2015 Easter season," he explained.
With 19 rules set out in the code of conduct for the beach, the association insists that there is to be no sexual conduct of any kind on the beach.
"[N]o sexual content of any kind, for example, dancing in a provocative manner, sitting on someone's genitals, swapping saliva [or] touching genitals. Swaying of hips is allowed, but pole dancing wouldn't be, if you get our point," it explains.
Hygiene is another factor - which is why there's a rule not to sit down on other people's beach chairs without first putting down a towel.
Lewd, homophobic or any remark construed as offensive, as well as persistent staring are other behaviours considered unacceptable.
John Skene, from the association, told TimesLive that the code of conduct is one accepted by naturists globally, adding that it is based on the International Naturist Federation's original code of conduct around nudity.
