Thong Friendly Beaches Near Orlando
 
I will be going to Orlando on business soon. My girlfriend is planning on coming for the weekend and wants to wear her thong and possibly go topless. Are there any beaches near Orlando that are thong and/or topless friendly?

I know this is a troll, but I just want other folks to know that wearing a thong in Florida or anywhere else for that matter is legal. The only pre-requisite is that you have a body for it. I've seen some ladies right here on Siesta Key that should have never even considered a thong. Oh well, to each his own.
Topless is little more tricky. It usually is against the law, but if you find a secluded stretch of beach, nobody will bother you. During the peak season, I have seen some topless European visitors on Lido Key right here in Sarasota. They were on the beach in front of the hotel almost at the southern tip of the key and even though there were many other people there, nobody really paid attention. If nobody actually calls the cops, there won't be any problems, and if you see the cops coming down the beach, just turn over till they pass. If they do approach, they will in most cases just give you a warning the first time.
It's not that big of a deal if it's done tastefully. It may become a problem if you're doing gymnastics in front of everybody.

Yep, troll.

The only beach I ever feel comfortable wearing a thong on is the South Beach part of Miami Beach because of lack of families.

yo troll, need to dig a little deeper with your transparent posts, all puns intended. LMF

Uh, where can I find a bottomless beach in Florida? :B

Actually, you can go bottomless at a nudist club in Kissimmee.

You seem to be the troll here, that person asked a legitimate question. And you responded with a blatant lie.
Or maybe you've never left Siesta Key in your entire life.

So, for you and the people you've intentionally mislead, wearing a thong is ILLEGAL in nearly all of the United States, even most of Florida.

tlm... the thread is over SEVEN years old.

I think the keypoint is that Orlando is in the middle of the state and doesn;t have beaches - only water parks.

prove it because as far as I know it's nothing illegal in majority of counties in Florida.

I don't even know why you brought a 7 yo thread up to make a useless post.

<wearing a thong is ILLEGAL in nearly all of the United States, even most of Florida.>
Nonsense!

Every town - and sometimes every beach - enforce rules about dress differently. Topless is not accepted - except in a few adult-oriented places. Size/coverage of bottoms required varies (partly based on the size of said bottom - person, not suit). Anything considered inappropriate will be ticketed and miscreant requested to cover up.

However, I have seen teeny bikini bottoms at almost every beach - although if the bottom appears completely bare it will be frowned upon most places.
