Drone surveillance over iconic nude beach in South Africa

Drones will be flying over Sandy Bay beach in Cape Town, a favourite spot for naturists and nudists, to ensure beachgoers stay safe and keep their clothes on.

Easier to go after easy targets of people who aren't harming anyone than to go after actual criminals...

“A huge thank you to Llandudno CID and the residents of Kronenzicht, whose funding made these new signs possible,”

Also no surprises there...rich people just shitting on everything and everyone for no reason.

You need professional help if
1. You prance around nude
2. You watch people prance around nude

Just keep your pants on and it will all be well

Geez, people can be uptight, it's one beach, let people get their kit off if they want to.

It's a great beach, once you get there.

But as always, a few spoil it for the rest.

From a security point of view, it's a bit too remote and isolated for my liking.

Fourth Beach, Clifton would be a lot better.

So this is the same City that steals the shirt off my back every month now telling people to cover up? Can't make this up.

SA law considers all beaches as public property. Which means one group of people don’t get to claim it and ruin it for others.

Personally, I actually think it would be beneficial to have some beaches be made private under certain conditions.

Like leasing certain secluded and remote beaches to private resorts isn’t really that much different than the private lodges in the Kruger park.

If the sight of a naked human ruins a beach for you, then you might be one of the uptight people I was talking about.

So it's ok on other beaches? This is interesting. Male toplessness is technically nudity but is not illegal while female toplessness is still illegal on beaches in SA.

I'd actually prefer all beaches and designated recreational areas to be nudity friendly rather than have anything concentrated in one area. When a beach becomes optional it usually results in naturist and nudist groups viewing it as having special legal status despite it having the same as other public spaces.

That beach has been widely known as a nudist beach for many a decade. It's never been a big deal for anyone.

But now, my brother in Christ.. we have a new species... this one below, which is why the drones are being used:

South African National Parks (SANParks) said that it would use drones to surveil the famous Sandy Bay beach in Cape Town to ensure that beachgoers follow the rules, including keeping their clothes on.

But if you go hiking you get mugged. Appropriate spend?

Just leave us who enjoy a bit of nudity alone. Gaan soek kak op 'n ander plek. If it is not your style, go to Clifton.

Boys and girls, pro tip: always use sunscreen on your sensitive areas.

I've seen ladies that went out of their way to get an even tan on the ghwar

How many decades has Sandy Bay been a nude beach and all safety issues were sorted out or came to nothing?

The Nanny State strikes again. What a bunch of control freaks.
