Topless sunbathing...

[Jamerican71]

When I first started going to Negril 25 years ago it was very prevalent. Tops on was the minority. I saw lots more topless sunbathing then than I have the last several years. I literally spent a couple of months psyching myself to give it a try on my 2nd trip. I was hooked - or unhooked - immediately. I only wear a 2 piece bathing suit if I'm walking the beach. Heck, I put on a cover up just to get up & move my lounger. Walking around the beach topless... never.

Not having the tan lines is a plus. The big incentive for me is comfort... no knot or tie pressing into my spine, no ties pulling on my neck. Topless is truly comfortable. I always dress for comfort. In this case, I undress for comfort.

Yvonne- I remember when I first met you at NBCC.....I guess that was 2004? You go girl with the topless! I wish I had the kahunas to do it!! You told me my 12 y.o. nephew would never look at school teachers the same. Well that nephew is now 19 y.o. nephew and sure does love seeing topless women but I don't think he's had any teachers quite like you!

I go to Hedo, and I've been to Firefly and Le Mirage on the cliffs. You can be totally nude at all of those places (I haven't read this whole thread). I haven't stayed at the Le Mirage since they put in thier infinity pool, but would love to sometime!!!

But other than that, when I'm in mainstream Negril, I do have respect for the locals and keep my bathing suit on unless I'm in a private area somewhere with no observers...

Hey, I have a tan thru suit anyway!!! LOL

I would be comfortable with it, but most, if not all, of them would not, including most other tourists. I wouldn't want to draw that kind of attention to myself....

By the way, there are still nudist beaches in the US; one of them is Haulover Beach south of Fort Lauderdale!!!

Have been looking for a tan thru bathing suit for several years (had one many years ago which I loved). Can you share brand name or name of store you found it at??

Btw - Vancouver has a rather famous nude beach out by the University of BC called "Wreck Beach". I always think of the Negril Beach when I have gone there - vendors (many of them nude or semi nude) sell goodies on the beach (cold drinks including beer, sodas, water etc., food, and even herb. Beach has been in existance for over 25 years and there are a lot of both young and old families that go every weekend. There is always a drumming session every afternoon starting about 3:30 or so. The local police walk thru a couple times a day, but someone always sounds a trumpet to warn people to hide their beer and anything else that thee police might be interested in. The only problem (and probably a good thing) is that there are about 300 steps down to the beach from the main road, and the return trip back up can be strenuous. Now if we could only get some of that hot weather that the mid US and the rest of Canada has had, I would head for the beach!
