Cameras are the one thing we are strict about.
No photography or video of anyone who has not agreed to it — asked in words, before the picture, by the people who are in it.
This is the rule the beach is least relaxed about, and the one worth reading before you arrive. It is not about modesty. It is that a photograph outlives the afternoon it was taken in, and nobody undressing on a beach agreed to that.
Do not photograph or film anyone here without asking them and hearing them say yes. That covers a phone as much as a camera, video as much as stills, and the person in the background of a picture that was not about them. Permission is given in words, by the people who are in the frame, before the shutter. Nobody can give it on someone else's behalf, and being visible is not the same as agreeing.
Photographs of the sea, the sand and the people you came with are fine, as long as nobody else can be recognised in them. If you are not sure whether somebody could be, move, wait, or put the camera away.
If you see a camera
Say something to the person holding it, or find someone from the beach team and let them deal with it. You do not need to be certain, and you do not need to be delicate about it: filming people here without asking is not allowed, and saying so is not making a scene. Nobody will think you overreacted.
Who to look for, and where on the beach they will be, is still to be supplied by the beach.
What this website publishes
No photographs of visitors. Every image on this site is of the place rather than of the people on it, and nothing shot on an ordinary day at Nirvana goes online because it came out well. There is no upload form anywhere on this site and there will not be one — the gallery is edited, not collected.
If a picture of you is somewhere it should not be
Write to us and say so. You will not be asked to prove that it is you, or to explain why you would rather it were not there. If the photograph is ours we take it down: tell us where you saw it and, if you know, roughly when it was taken. If it is somewhere that is not ours, tell us anyway — we will say what we know about where it came from, and ask for it to be removed wherever there is somebody to ask.
The public address to write to is still to be supplied by the beach. Until it is, the contact form on this site reaches the same people.
