My Experiences Going Topless At The Beach And Tips For Those Considering It

My Experiences Going Topless At The Beach And Tips For Those Considering It

Being from Europe , taking your top off at the beach is a moderately common past time. On this site though, not many members are open to the idea of it. I thought I would share my experiences of being topless on beaches in Europe and Australia.

As a teenager, around 15 years of age, I attempted going topless once on a beach but while I bared my breasts for a few minutes in their entireity, which was a not so impressive 34B cup, I felt rather naked so soon put my top back on.

When I completed high school, I went on an adventure to Australia, which consisted of a lot of hanging out at the beach. Not wanting to have too many tan lines and wearing triangle bikini tops, I initially I would just go topless laying on my front and put the top back on if I rolled over, but over time I got lazier and would just drape the top over my boobs. One day surounded by other topless girls, who were my age and in their 20s, I rolled over exposing my boobs and it felt fine. I think what helped was safety in numbers and that a lot of the other topless girls had much nicer boobs than mine. For the remainder of that trip, if other people were topless at a beach, then I would be too. I never noticed any unnecessary attention and while guys might have looked, it never seemed creepy.

Fast forward a few years and I am now a big fan of being topless at the beach. If we go on holidays to France, Croatia, Spain I will always go topless. At most beaches in continental Europe a number of people are always topless so I don't stick out at all.

While the US might be some years away from having topless tanning on all beaches, according to go topless.org being topless is not actually illegal in most states (see https://gotopless.org/topless-laws).

Some things to consider if you do decide to take the plunge and take off your top on the beach:

- When laying down, boobs flatten out so it doesn't feel as sexual as when sitting up or walking around. To start with, take off your top when laying on your back and put it back on when laying on your back.

- Big boobs are more sexual than smaller ones. They may get more notice than an A/B/C cup.

- I still prefer safety in numbers. If going for the plunge for the first time, do it near some other topless girls.

Have you tried going topless before? If so, I would like to hear about other people's experiences.

  • In Spain, especially in the south (I'm from Murcia, in the southeast of Spain), is very common women go topless on the beach.
    Although there are several nudist beaches here, topless is very extended on any type of beach, nudist and textil.

  • i do it all the time

    • Don't all men?

    • @rAiNbOwTeRdZ Yeah lol! i was just messing around haha!

  • I would.
    I live in Australia though, and I have never seen anyone go topless at the beach before. What state did you visit?

    @eurochick

    • Hi this was at Bondi Beach, Sydney.

    • Ah, okay that explains it. I heard they tend to go topless there (funnily enough I heard it from the show Modern Family) Yeah, I was hoping it was somewhere in Victoria but of course we're all too conservative here XD (plus it's probably not exactly legal in my specific state. Because you know, stuff having the same laws as the rest of the country)

    • I did actually go topless on some beaches on the Great Ocean Road too. We were the only ones I think but nobody cared.

    • Show All
  • Nope, never have... Not that common where I live - Croatia.
    Where in Europe are you from?

    • Im from Sweden. I have been to Croatia, its a great place.

    • Cool! Sweden. =) Never been there but hear great things.

    • Interestingly, the first and only place where I showed my private parts was near Split, Croatia!

  • Always have been topless when and where appropriate. I am European and so find the whole US thing weird. It's just natural, comfortable.

    • where do you go topless?

    • My girlfriend and her mom normally topless at home, also get topless on beach too

  • Topless looks fine, I am here from India, we can't go topless in here, but whenever I visit France/Spain I have went topless.
    Infact wearing a jeans and going topless would look more sexy if you want to catch some attention!

    • Denim shorts?

  • Where did you ever get the idea that "Big boobs are more sexual than smaller ones"? In the context of sexuality, guys are just as interested in an A-cup as they are in a C-cup. Size has nothing to do with it. Sure, some guys have preferences, but it's just a preference; my very flat-chested college friend said that she never once had a guy ask her to put her top back on (if it came off). In controlled studies of size preference, "medium" was the #1 preference. That's right, a full B/small C is preferred by more men that a D is; and is likewise preferred by more men that aa A is. But seriously, when a flat chested girl takes her top off, the guys enjoy it. A lot.

  • I understand that going topless at a beach is pretty common in Europe . I'm from America though, and while I'm sure there are topless beaches here, I wouldn't take my top off just because of how sexualized everything is here. I feel like everyone would be staring at my breasts and wanting to rape me basically.

    • Yeah. Lot of the men here in Ameirca (especially on the West Coast) are perverted.

    • Its not THAT common in Europe either. Its rare to find topless women on beaches and for girls younger than 30 its even more rare.

    • Onyx277 Getting common in south east Asia too, I heard in India and Siri Lanka as well. Thiland and Indonesia no restrictions. My girlfriend and her mom normally go topless. I like and admired of my girlfriend.

  • I think it is not that common in Europe . I never did it and probably never will. I wouldn't feel comfortable at all and I also don't see the point.

    • As a guy I don't see the point either. One of my exes told me that she did that in Barcelona but im pretty sure she did to get attention. And i like tanlines i think they are very sexy.

  • If I was to answer this question 2 months ago, I would say NO due to my massive boobs. I would never. But today, I would say why not. Its only boobs. I would do it. If I saw people doing it, I would probably do it too. Nice all round tan. (funny how little things in life change you to see a bigger and better picture)

    • What made you change your mind about going topless?

  • I have gone to public bath with my friends but never went to any nude beach. So I will try

  • You will love it! The only thing better is fully nude.

  • Thanks for vital information.

  • I think safety in numbers is true, the more people are doing it, the more comfortable everyone else will be to try it. While you have places where it is legal but few people actually try it, it may still seem weird (like in New York city where women can go topless anywhere a man can but most don't). I do wonder if we will get to where Europe is now in our comfort with nudity.

  • I'm thinking of going on a trip with a group of friends and we have joked about going to a nude beach. I'm still on the fence. Going with some girl friends and I just don't know if it will be weird.

  • I'm from Germany and here it's not a problem on most beaches.
    It is now even allowed in many swimming pools and outdoor pools.
    Since I don't have a small bust, sometimes some people look, but that's not a problem and I've never been bothered so far.
    I don't know what is allowed to post here since I'm still new, so I'd better not post a picture.

  • So I'm guessing you aren't affected by perverted stares from guys? Good for you!

  • I did it once, because the strong waves kept pushing my triangle bikini away. I don't think I'd do it anytime soon again, unless there are strong waves again (and topless women too).
    It's definitely easier when other women around you are topless too.

  • I go topless a lot. I live in America though and far away from any beaches. The first time was when I was 15 too... except I went full on nude and didn't care.

    • My girlfriend too

  • Yes!! My first time was in Italy I was 23 years old After that pretty much at any beach that allows you too or pool. I grew up in Los Angeles and our beaches you have to have your top on! I have very large breast so I'm always uncomfortable on the beach or pool but if I see other Women then I feel more comfortable!! I love getting a little light on the girls and my husband loves it also!!

    • Haha of course :P

    • Anonymous I like seeing my girlfriend topless too in public beach and she did freely and some occasions poolside party too.

  • I wouldn't do that. My boobs are just too large for that sorry. I understand that you're European, but I am American, and it's not too common over here.

    • Too big? I didn't think that was possible.
