Best beaches for topless sunbathing
The authoritative magazine Forbes found out where it is best for women who like to sunbathe without swimsuits to relax. An excellent tan can be obtained in the carnival capital – Rio de Janeiro. On Copacabana beach, the fair sex sunbathes 'in the tiniest bikinis on the planet'.
In second place is Blacks Beach in the American city of San Diego. It is adored by surfing fans. A rocky wall hides vacationers from prying eyes. The third line in the ranking was taken by Kuta Beach on the Indonesian island of Bali. There is no better place in the world for contemplating the most beautiful sunsets. Fourth place went to 'one of the best beaches in the USA' - South Beach in Miami, known for its relaxed club atmosphere.
The French island of Saint Barthélemy best demonstrates how calmly the French treat women sunbathing topless. This method of sunbathing is allowed on all beaches of the island, but Forbes especially highlights Governor's Beach (Anse du Gouverneur), which took fifth place. Sixth in the ranking is Tahiti Beach in Saint-Tropez, where in summer you can meet Joan Collins, Naomi Campbell and the governor of Chukotka Roman Abramovich. Seventh place goes to Paradise Beach on the Greek island of Mykonos. From July to August, the whole island is one big party, but the most exciting things happen on the beach.
Camps Bay Beach in Cape Town, South Africa, takes eighth place. The penultimate, ninth place, is given to the longest beach on the Spanish island of Ibiza, known for its non-stop day and night parties - Playa d'en Bossa.
As Novye Izvestiya reports, the hot ten is completed by Playa El Aqua on the Venezuelan island of Margarita. This almost five-kilometer paradise, planted with palm trees, is loved by tourists from Europe and South America.
