Pictograms, rope and posts to deter misuse of sand dunes adjoining Bredene’s popular nudist beach
Authorities in the West Flemish family seaside resort of Bredene have now decided more clearly to demarcate the popular local nudist beach.
Some interesting thoughts and a good read I found on the net:
**Pictograms, rope and posts to deter misuse of sand dunes adjoining Bredene’s popular nudist beach**

Authorities in the West Flemish family seaside resort of Bredene have now decided more clearly to demarcate the popular local nudist beach. New signs displaying rules of conduct and pictograms have been put up, and posts with rope stretched between them mark the boundary with the adjacent nature reserve more clearly. Bredene city fathers say the measure has been taken in response to what is termed the ‘repeated misuse of the sand dunes’ behind the beach.
A section of Bredene beach, at the water’s edge, is officially designated as a nudist beach. It is Belgium's sole officially recognised nudist beach. Stretching for 4 kilometres it offers privacy as it is a secluded setting bordered by a series of protected sand dunes and not a promenade.
This is a zone where full nudity is permitted. However, behind this area lies a series of sand dunes that form part of a nature reserve managed by the Nature and Forests Agency. According to Bredene Mayor Kelly Spillier, some visitors have been displaying inappropriate behaviour in this area, but no more concrete details are available. The local council wishes to put a stop to this...
That's very interesting, it's I'm not sure how can I probably Beach be required by the users to be private. Like you know secluded is not private. Anyway, I'll always be that devil's advocate that if one wants recognition and to be accepted but at the same time they're pissed off at others.. I don't know it's it's just.. It's not how I see the world. It's not how I see so-called freedom, which by the way doesn't exist, but you know.. and by the way, what if it's the nudist that also use that place?.. And you know also one of the things that I hate when they just don't write the exact thing that they're referring to. Like why do we have to assume what they wanted to say? That's not reporting a news. When you're reporting something then you'd say exactly how it is and what it is. Rather somebody likes it or not. It's the same way when somebody makes a video and they self-censor the shit out of them with the words they are using, so basically when you're watching the video you absolutely don't understand what the hell was said.. like you know, if you're not allowed to say it then don't even mention anything, if you're self-censoring because you're a you know female organ LOL. Then also don't talk about it.. of course I'm not referring to you when I'm saying all of this, but to the article and the subject of it.
