So, on what to wear (or not), whilst sunning in St Barth. What are the rules, where and when?
Technically, total nudity on the beach is illegal on St Barth, and decades ago there were signs to that effect. That being said, clothing optional is practiced by some on Saline beach, and they won’t be offended if you choose not to participate. There probably aren’t as many topless women on the other beaches as there once were, but there are some.
No hard rules (why we love SBH non?) I've been to the island 3 times over the last year (4th time next week) and always see nude sunbathers on extreme ends of Saline and far right side of Gouverneur regardless of season. In terms of toplessness I definitely see much more topless women (on practically all beaches) in summer than winter. In terms of swimwear, due to Euro/American/Latin visitor mix you practically see everything from Speedos/Brazilian thongs to 1 pieces. Enjoy!So, on what to wear (or not), whilst sunning in St Barth.
