Dress code on beaches?

Post by OrthodoxChristian »

I have always felt that women and men revealing almost all their bodies on the beach, was not excusable based on the idea that it's a "beach". Am I out of line?

Yes. If you can't deal with it - don't go.

Personally, I see nothing wrong with admiring the bodies of the opposite sex. Then again, I am GOA :D

Come to Alberta! No beaches here and more than half of the year it's too cold to dress immodestly. (Though some do try.)

I agree with you, you're not out of line.
