The men from Sydney became lost in bushland during a visit to a remote beach and called for help about 6pm on Sunday.
Emergency services found a naked 30-year-old man carrying a backpack on a walking track in the Royal National Park, south of Sydney.
After a further search, a 49-year-old man, partially clothed, was also found.
The men told police they were on a nearby beach when they ran into bushland after being startled by a deer.
They were taken to St George Police Station and issued $1000 fines for breaching the current public health order prohibiting those from Greater Sydney travelling outside the region.
The two men were among 44 people throughout NSW issued with Penalty Infringement Notices for breaching a public health order on the weekend.
