I live in Fort Lauderdale now and it's only 18 miles from Miami so we are part of the metro. From flickr.

We have Haulover, a nude beach in Sunny Isles Miami but there are topless beaches in South Beach.

What about children? Say there're children on the beach (which they are on pretty much any beach), can people roam about butt-naked?

In Scandinavia, nudity is not considered as harmful in any way. But you can still not go naked on the streets, the police would probably come and tell you to put your clothes on. But on the beach, no one cares.

I see. I thought only topless was allowed.

FREKI · November 5th, 2009, 05:47 PM

^the law is based on behavior not dresscode... and needless to say sexual motivated acts is not tollerated among kids or adults for that matter, so flashing or walking around naked outside of a school is without excuse and will get you arrested virtually instantly, while soaking up the sun in a quit corner or on the beach is without problems..

Yes, as long as you behave yourself what you wear is up to yourself..

Yeah full nudity in the city is legal too, but will be distracting and confusing to the public and thus not a suited place to be nude - people interested in that should find a park or quit corner away from traffic..

In case people missed it we had a pretty fun anti-speeding campaign some years ago "Speed Bandits"

( warning - mild nudity )

Now that's putting our tax kroner to good use!

Perth has a large number of beaches streaching over 100km of the metro area (including Rottnest Island) which are used for water recreation. Some beaches are more favourable to surfing, some snorkeling and the most popular for sun bathing or all above.
Perth's most popular beaches are Scarborough or more specifically Brighton beach, City Beach and Cottesloe Beach.
Perth Beaches are normally identified via municipal borders in the case of many km of unbroken beaches, or by the odd rocky headland and artificial rocky groine. So though their are many beaches, the natural borders are far less.
Conditions go from flat to quite large swell's with some beaches holding waves up to 5m (16.4 ft), normally in winter or late summer formed by cyclones up north. That being said, Perth has a small amount of protected beaches (Rockingham and parts of Rottnest Island) and some where poor seas, are not as pronounced because of offshore reefs like Warnbro.
Perth also has many river beaches, mostly used as dog beaches and by sailers, boating, Wind Surfers and Kite Surfers.

Scarborough Beach

City Beach

Cottesloe Beach

Trigg Beach

Leighton Beach

Port Beach

Sorrento Beach

Mullaloo Beach

Yanchep Lagoon

South Beach (horse beach)

Rockingham beach

Warnbro Beach

Secret Harbour Beach

The Basin, Rottnest Island

Pinkie's, Rottnest Island (Pinkie's is notorious for teenages losing their virginity)

and plenty more...

^ Great shots of perth's beaches..looks perfect to both dive and surf!

Walbanger · November 7th, 2009, 04:17 PM

The city is blessed to have such beaches. The diving is okay, fishing is good and the surfing conditions are passable though fickle, it does get good at times but if often windy which suits the wind and kite surfers more. There is far better Surfing breaks south of the the city (world class) with some tow in surf spots like Maui's Jaws and California's Mavericks http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/news...633033091.html, http://www.surfermag.com/features/on...s/index18.html, http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...d.php?t=139277. Diving is awesome north of the city with many low latitude coral reefs like the Abrolhos http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrolhos_Islands and Ningaloo Reef http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ningaloo_Reef

Occit · November 7th, 2009, 09:37 PM
