Naturists once again called for the legalization of nudist beaches and topless sunbathing, saying that it ironic that animals have their own beaches while naturists don’t.

The call comes in the wake of the government announcing a number of beaches where dogs could swim.

In a statement, the naturists said that in Malta they risk their lives to go to secluded beaches because there are no 'nudist friendly' beaches and many secluded spots currently used for unofficial nude bathing have dangerous accesses. It is not the first time that people are hurt accessing such places.

The irony and parody of the Maltese government is that it’s happy to make some beaches 'dog friendly' yet it continues to deny (even after several polls indicate that many citizens support the legalization of naturist beaches) Maltese and tourists alike the option for 'nudist friendly' beaches.
