    I wouldn't be too concerned about my kids seeing someone naked on a beach.

    That doesn't make me a bad parent. Some people are just more conservative than others.

    It is just my opioion but I think conservative to that extent makes children feel nakedness and nudity are wrong leading to problems in later life.

    After checking this thread out (the title intrigued me!) I can't see anything wrong with the OP's question. If I go on holiday I'd prefer not to see nude people (topless counts). My choice. Clothes make people look way more decent! and as for my kids seeing it, they have no problem with nakedness but surely you should get a choice?! I'd prefer not to see other peoples' bits!
    Thank you to everyone who posts comps! :A
    I would like to be lucky,healthy & happy in 2020! :T

    Gibraltar, most of the locals speak English, there's a lovely relaxed feel to it, great prices on duty free goods, and no nudity on the beach that we saw, (and I think I'd have noticed). There's also historical stuff to do, you can go on day trips to Morocco etc...it' also small so no need to drive anywhere, getting the bus is an adventure.;)

    We walked across the border to the beach at La Linea and didn't notice anyone wandering about topless there either, well, apart from the blokes obviously...

    Speaking of Morocco and Tunisia, are the rules the same there?

    OP, I think you should stick with what you believe in,, it's nice you care about their kids' upbringing enough to ask the question on here..
    Personally, I don't mind being naked in front of DD or DH but I would never go topless on a beach, have never been shy and covered up, but now she's 11 she covers herself up, she has learned it from her peers that she should hide her body away. I tell her we all have the same bits and bobs, some are bigger, hairier, saggier, different colours etc, but it's still all the same equipment we were given.

    There are laws about nudity in Morocco, but they do not appear to be enforced in tourist areas.

    I wish I had the boobs to get them out in public ... unfortunately gravity is not my friend! ;)
    Gone ... or have I?

    It's not the friend of 80% of topless people (both sexes) that you see on the beach either - doesn't seem to stop them ;)

    Or The Maldives ... though the laws seem to be much more strictly enforced in Dubai!

    You can't even get !!!!!! in the Maldives ... :o

    Last time I went to the Maldives there was a very well endowed Italian lady who was either unaware or had no respect for the laws there... Made me feel very pale, small and frumpy :o

    Any Muslim country would probably be OK, avoid Scandinavia the bits come out even when it's snowing.

    Plenty of full on naked people on the beaches in Fuerteventura (canaries) so avoid that place like the plague, not just for your childrens sake but also your own as is always the case these nudists seem to range from 50-100 years old, its not a pretty site :(
