Nav-Tex Posted February 24, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I have been asked by a young lady at work that wants to know if she can be topless at the Progreso Resort Beach Break. She and her friends are heading out during spring break. I have never been to this resort beach and could not answer her question. Does anyone know?

hdawson Posted February 24, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2010 From my experience, the folks of the Yucatan are pretty modest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler353 Posted February 24, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Topless is generaly not excepted in the Yucatan and many parts of Mexico. As stated the people are actually modest in their actions with very high religious standards. Last year I saw 2 police ask a couple of very attactive ladys to cover themselves on the beach in Progreso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTJ Posted February 24, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Generally, Mexican society is much more conservative, religious, formal, and respectful compared to the United States. Rarely will you see Mexicans wearing shorts, and they tolerate Americans for doing so only because of the money that they bring. Baring even more would be unacceptable by most Mexicans.

Nav-Tex Posted February 24, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Thanks. I learned something as well. I will let her know of what was posted. She is under the impression that anything goes because she will be "across the border". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdawson Posted February 24, 2010 #6 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Thankfully, most Mexicans still have good taste and manners. It might be tolerated in Cancun during spring break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun R Bunns Posted March 21, 2010 #7 Share Posted March 21, 2010 There are Clothing Optional Resorts on the Yucatan near Cancun. I would recommend she look into one of those places if she wishes to go topless. It would be a real bummer to spend spring break in some stinky jail in Mexico no matter where it was. Clothing Optional places are for fellow nudists to enjoy without offending others that wish not be "be free". That is why in public places where one might encounter nudity, there are signs proclaiming so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clackey Posted March 22, 2010 #8 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I have heard that a few europeans go topless at Playa Del Carmen but I haven't seen it in 3 stops there. Playa Palancar on Cozumel had a couple of topless gals when we were there a couple of years ago, but it is not the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdawson Posted March 22, 2010 #9 Share Posted March 22, 2010 If going topless is a priority I suggest the eastern caribbean with stops in St Maartin. The french side is probably a good bet. I've also seen it on Antigua. I think the eastern caribbean islands are prettier by far than the western. St Johns is absolutely gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun R Bunns Posted March 23, 2010 #10 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Agree, hdawson.....Eastern is much nicer. We loved spending a day at Orient Beach, St. Martins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat2009 Posted March 23, 2010 #11 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Uh, sounds like the young lady is flirting with you. Otherwise, why bring up such a personal topic at work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nav-Tex Posted June 25, 2010 Author #12 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Here is an update to an old thread. I bumped into the young lady today at work. I had to ask if she and her friends had a good cruise. They had a great cruise, but was not brave enough to go topless. They saw that no one else was topless.
