Is topless sunbathing okay on Ambergris Caye up north? Not around town of course. Tons of girls do it around Playa del Carmen and Tulum. As you know we Europeans like the almost no tan line look.

This is a topic I love to talk about... talk about... (get it, I said it twice) laugh.
This has always been a tuogh question to answer. Officially, the policy of the island is nope... but as I've told many people before, where there is a will there is a way. The further north you go, the more tolerant people are.

If you let me know when you are going and where you're staying I will be more than happy to fly down, kept guard and tell you if anyone is coming. laugh

what denny says is true. there was a group of italians at ramon's when i was there. i think they sunbathed at every resort during their stay. we saw them a few times. EVERYBODY on the island knew about it soon enough. MY husband looked! you can do it, but you will get stared at alot. aren't we americans silly? (my top is too old for that kind of thing now, since my kids, anyway).

LOL Jane
27? 2 kids?
Give that another...OH, (I don't want to share too much) at least 20 years and say your too old to show.
Trying to find where my knee caps are going as we speak let alone where this has gone. And nooooo south is not the answer.

no, no, hope, i'm 37. and thirty seven will never be 27 again!!! wires and spandex for me, thanks!!

Oh, Ok, 37....sorry Jane,
Dang, yep... you can't be 27 again, but boy I really would NOT mind the *37* body again! Those were the glorious years for me. Much better than 27 on a good day, especially now.
Those pics of yours though... Really want to use the B word but afraid Chloe, Debbie, Denny, Choochoo (sp) and all would really come down on me.
GRAND TO BE A YOUNG WHIPPER SNAPPER! BLINK, BLINK, BLINK.
Really....honestly... Love and a BLINK!

Come on guys.... I have found women are their own worst critics. What they think are old and useless many guys appreciate to no end. Personally, I think females really do age with beauty. Their bodies become more inviting, and I have to go take a shower again. laugh

Denny, after watching you post on here several times I suggest the following to reduce your already High water bill.....
Use an Ice pack....longer lasting results...reduces swelling of all types...
Hope this helps ya...

*shaking head*.....Jane you started all this......you just wanted people to talk about your pictures again....right?......LOL

Yes....women do sunbathe topless here from time to time. It's true European culture is not as skiddish about this activity as U.S. residents are. Not saying it's a bad thing....just a difference in the way we were all raised.

Wouldn't mind finding a secluded spot myself to tan my boobs.....LOL.....but it ain't Ramon's....and I have to live here.....LOL
Sorry....my modesty won't allow that.

We should also remember that while we are grown adults and can chose to go topless or not.....there are FAMILIES here with children and we should try to respect their comfort zones as well. It's just courtesy.

This is not Mexico or the French Riviera and most Belizeans do not even wear swimsuits.
They swim in shorts and a top. They are very modest people when it comes to swimming in public.

So...if you must go topless....just remember....you probably will get stared at and some people may find it difficult to fully enjoy their beach time with their kids.

Happy sunbathing!

Oh Denny!!! You are truly a wonderful man. A man who thinks women get better with age.... like a fine violin or a bottle of wine...... Ah. How refreshing to hear of a man who enjoys the beauty of age. You get the "he man" award medal for the day!!!!! Hats off to you. You made my whole day!! I'm now walking proud with my "useless baggage" displayed out front, back straight and chin up!!!
Debbie

I said it before, and I'll say it again: Jane, you are a hottie by anyone's standards. I am 45 and my girlfriend is 43 with 3 grown kids she raised herself. Every wrinkle and stretch mark represents each one of those wonderful kids, and the years behind getting them grown. There is NOTHING sexier or more desirable in my book! Prettiest woman in San Pedro, when we were there!!
