PEOPLE will be able to go naked on the beach, but anybody who thinks the nudist beach will be a free-for-all is mistaken.
Hibiscus Coast Municipality spokesman Simon April said laws will be strictly enforced at Trafalgar Beach.
Trafalgar is the first beach on the KZN south coast which will allow nude bathing. It was approved by the council in October after the KZN Naturists Association and the SA Naturists Association put in an application.
April told Daily Sun a strict code of conduct will be enforced.
“People will not be allowed to stare at naked bathers. It is rude, whether you are wearing clothes or not,” he said.
“The same applies to dancing in a provocative manner, sitting on someone’s lap, swaying of the hips, touching genitals and open-mouth kissing.”
He said no photographs will be allowed without the consent of everybody in the shot. “Don’t try and persuade anyone! The first no is the final answer,” he said.
The official opening of the beach as nudist-friendly is expected before the Easter holidays, but April said people who swim naked before the official launch will not be prosecuted.
Not everyone is happy with the nudist-friendly beach. Traditional and religious leaders submitted petitions to the council. They want the decision to be reversed.
