SURF Coast Shire is offering its coastline to topless bathers after a NSW bid to outlaw the practice.
Corio Valley Nudist Club member Phil (last name withheld) said the conservative push by some NSW Government politicians to ban boobs-on-show at popular beaches would be difficult to police.

“Topless bathing on open beaches is so common, people don’t give it a second thought.”
Surf Coast mayor Libby Mears said she was aghast at the NSW move and Cr Dean Webster said he had no qualms with those wanting that all-over tan.
“I would hate to see us become so prudish . . . and go down the path where we need to stop topless bathing,” Cr Webster said.
Cr Rose Hodge said it would be a drastic measure to change the NSW law because topless bathing was so common throughout the world.
“Aren’t we blessed that we have a proclaimed nude beach at Point Impossible (in Torquay) and that’s the perfect spot if people want to take it a step further and go the full monty,” she said.
Cr Lindsay Schroeter said topless bathing was natural and he didn’t support a compulsory cover-up law.
Torquay police Sergeant Brian McKiterick said flashing breasts on the beach was not an offence and he hadn’t received any complaints.
