Nudist beaches


Thus, a nudist beach is a place near the water, where it is assumed to be completely naked. However, as a rule, the presence of clothing on this public beach is forbidden, because it violates established norms here.

In some countries there are officially sanctioned nudist beaches, where to stay without clothes is a must for all people who are present here. But in Russia, nudist beaches, as a rule, are natural and are based on years of practice, the stay of the people without clothes on in a particular place on the water. Most often they are in relatively secluded areas in order not to violate public order and not to attract undue attention.

From the point of view of the current legislation stay in a public place without clothes, however, is a violation of the rules, and because law enforcement agencies generally seek to eliminate such violations through the adoption of appropriate regulations. Therefore, the availability of a Nude beach is a sort of compromise between the desire of people to act in accordance with their beliefs and informal tolerant attitude of law enforcement towards such places.
