Women Only Beaches in Italy
People visit beaches for the sun, the sea and the waves. There are men who prefer to wear skimpy swimming trunks and then there are those who would rather wear shorts. For women, there is more variety in bathing suitslinks: one-piece, two-piece, bikini, tankini, etc.

And then there are those who are different...

For whatever reasons they may have, there are some who prefer to go au naturelle. And since not everyone is comfortable with this set-up, these people who would rather go nude while suntanning or swimming have to go to a different, more isolated beach area. These exclusive areas where one can go without bathing suits are called Frei Körper Kultur (FKK) or Nudist beaches.

And then, there are those who require a different kind of "environment".

In consideration of Muslim women whose religion dictates that they are covered up when in the presence of men, a new kind of isolated beach area is being set-up. As reported by the telegraph, "a seaside resort in Italy is to create women-only beaches in order to accommodate the growing number of Muslim tourists."

Starting next month, female Muslims will be given the chance to bathe comfortably in Riccione, an Adriatic resort south of Rimini. There will be partitions to ensure that these ladies are out of the sight of men. I guess, we can safely assume that all staff on the beach area will be composed of women, as well.

An interesting development in the tourism industry.
