"Although it is not a common sight, some visitors choose to bare it all at this beach, which is known for its nude-friendly atmosphere. Both men and women have been spotted soaking up the sun without their tops on. The shoreline is flanked by numerous hotels and dining options, and the beach of love is located at the far end of the stretch."
