Topless Sunbathing

I am going to Puerto Vallarta in February and it is my first time visiting Mexico. I will be staying at the hotel Vista Playa De Oro which is close to the marina end of the beach does anyone know whether topless sunbathing is the norm or is it frowned upon ?
Many Thanks

Topless is illegal on Vallarta beaches, and considered offensive by many of the locals. Not saying that nobody does it, but it is definitely not the norm.

Go for it at Play de Oro.... that is normal over there.... that is a family all inclusive and we stay next door at the Crown Paradise and adults all inclusive and we find more topless ladies over there ... and as my distinguished friend Chuck said most of the Europeans go topless over there... with out a problem... and there is a beach up north of Punta Minta near San Fransisco that is supposedly nice for this as well....

Last year on the very same beach we witnessed a woman get arrested for being topless , when I inquired as to what happened it was explained to me as this , the beaches are under federal law in Mexico and if you are caught you will be charged .As well as many people will tell you the Mexican people are catholic for the most part and are a very modest people so you will be offending a great many people in their country . How would you like it if people went nude on your street in fromt of your kids?
Respect these people and their culture if you have to go without clothes pick an appropriate resort that has a clothing optional resort .

In Europe, going topless is common, but this is Mexico. That person may not be uncomfortable, but others might be.

I do respect other peoples cultures and values of the country I am visiting that is why I am asking and not just doing it . I do not do it to offend the local people it is in the interest of what to pack more than anything else ! ! I have the greatest respect for the local people of what ever country I am visiting which is more than can be said of a lot of people I am astounded at the way a lot of people speak and behave towards the people of the country they are visiting ! Any way thanks for your views.

You forgot get arrested.......... who cares!!!!!

RESPECT THEIR CULTURE YOU ARE A VISITOR !!!!!

Right on Pete.....

So many times these posts get turned into country vs,. country . EDM - CANADA is probably some kid who has nebver even been to Mexico , it doesnt matter what country you come from your supposed to behave in a MATURE , RESPONSIBLE manner , vacationing isnt an exscuse to break the law or offend people in another country . You said probably you\"ll just be asked to put your top back on . Very nice of you to take a chance with someone getting arrested with your great advice .

From one Canadian to another... please stop country bashing.

What on earth does being American have to do with whether or not topless sunbathing is allowed in Mexico??

Your comments are uncalled for and frankly you are an embarrassment to THIS canadian!

How about you actually read what has been going on the past little while in this board and maybe you will understand instead of just jumping in and saying your piece. Stay out of it ANTI-Canadian....We should stick together.
