I really don't know the answer to your nude beach question. However, last time I was there, I did not see any topless or nude persons sunbathing by the beaches near town. I guess it depends which beach you're on...the more secluded, less worries. JohnnyK.  :rolleyes: 
I'm returning to San Pedro soon...about 2 weeks away!!! Can't wait!

have never seen nude sunbathing. It seems to me that perhaps their is a town ordinance also? marty?? susangg??? bywarren?? remember where you are guys & gals. The culture is, like it or not, somewhat conservative.

Ambergris Caye is changing, some would say too rapidly, in trying to provide many things that tourists want in order to attract the tourist dollar. Having said that, I believe there is still a strong feeling with the local residents and San Pedranos that things like nudity are not acceptable behavior. They still feel, and I believe rightfully so, that this is "their" island and even though there is a strong temptation to provide what the tourist wants, their conservative and mainly Catholic upbringing frowns on things like nudity. When I first started coming to AC, it was unacceptable for a San Pedrano girl to be in a bar. That has obviously changed over time. But, many of the other types of behavior that is accepted in other tourists destinations is still frowned upon here. And, I think that is one of the reasons so many of us like AC. When you come here, you get the feeling that you are being invited into a community as a welcome "guest". This shows in the attitude of the local people here and is what makes vacationing here different from going to a destination that's sole purpose is tourism. Anyway, that is how I see it.
