Babies arent allowed to be nude on the beach
They really need to reconsider putting some age clauses in this.
Sec. 38-61. Definitions.
Nude means any person insufficiently clothed in any manner so that any of the following body parts are not entirely covered with a fully opaque covering:
(1) The male or female genitals.
(2) The male or female pubic area.
(3) The female breast.
(4) The buttocks.
Body paint, body dyes, tattoos, liquid latex whether wet or dried, and similar substances shall not be considered opaque covering. Each female person may determine which one fourth of her breast surface area (see definition of breast) contiguous to and containing the nipple and the areola is to be covered.
Sec. 38-66. Nudity prohibited in public.
It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly, intentionally or recklessly appear, or cause another person to appear, nude in a public place or in any other place which is readily visible to the public, except as provided in section 38-67 and F.S. � 383.015. It shall also be lawful for any person or entity maintaining, owning or operating any public place establishment to encourage, suffer or allow any person to appear nude in such public place, except as provided in this section.
(Code 1976, � 14-61)
Given when this law was written, I’ve no doubt breastfeeding is also banned there.
It’s truly disgusting to have a two year old girl on the beach, planning to have a fantastic day, when out of nowhere a naked, three year old boy comes running onto the sand. And I, personally, would be furious with my mother if she let me run around naked when I was too young to have enough sense myself to say how disgusting that is. Not only that, but there are disgusting diseases all over the beach. People walk their dogs there, do you really want your kids dragging their privates all over the sand?

Well, you must be French.
See? Stereotypes aren’t looking like such a great idea now are they?
And before anyone starts ranting at me, that is NOT my actual opinion, I just wanted to throw that in her face.
oh,and it doesnt specifically state babies anyway.
this isnt that dumb.
“only in america”
Really? There are plenty of videos on youtube of Europeans from various countries (usually guys, mind you) streaking through the streets (and, of course, sporting events). The only reason to do that is
1) for some kind of thrill/rush
2) to shock people
If nudity is so commonplace in these countries, why do people still streak?
they’re babys. its not that big of a deal if they are nude.
dumbest law ever. only in america is nudity frowned upon so severly.
Exactly! Daytona Beach, the home of NASCAR, actually has a worse anti-nudity law than Satellite Beach.
And a woman must cover 25% of her breasts just in case a gang of naked outlaw babies comes along and sprays all over everyone; when they tire of their contumacious conduct they’ll be guaranteed a clean nipple to suckle, as required by law.
This is NOT a dumb law–think about it….babies wear diapers for a specific reason.
