Asbury Park To Allow Topless Women On The Beach
June 26th, 2010 - 7:12 pm ICT by GDBy Meena Kar
June 26, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Asbury Park authorities are considering to allow topless women on the city beach. The move has been highly debated because on one hand it will bring in more sun bathers from within the city but also might reduce the number of locals who come to the beach with their families. Unlike other nude beaches which are hidden from public view the beach has a broadwalk that allows a prime view of the entire beach.
Reggie Flimlin was the first to propose to the city council the idea of the beach that would allow women to choose for themselves whether they want to be topless or not at the beach. She is the owner of a yoga studio and has herself sunbathed topless at several beaches in Europe and Miami. She stated that Asbury Park is known for its liberal approach. According to her Asbury Park has a large number of lesbian and gay communities and also diverse racial and ethnic mix which makes it very progressive.
There is however no law in the state banning the nudity on the beaches. The Attorney General’s Office has said that it is up to the communities to decide whether they are comfortable with the idea of sunbathing without clothes on the beach. A 23 year old life guard on the beach was however skeptical about the idea as he said that he saw the number of families coming to the beach increase over the pat few years. He feels that the allowing of nudes might just reduce the family crowds coming to the beach.
