We are in Australia though and travel the coast quite often.

Just want to ask whether this "boobs out is still a thing" is more about the beach near you or if it's still a thing even on a more mainstream Australian beaches. I feel like I've been to quite a few different beaches in Australia and nobody has gone topless in the last few years I went, including the few times I went in the last month or so.

It is definitely the case that across Europe topless sunbathing has become less common than it was 20 years ago - a lot less so in some places like the South of France. Spain in general it is far more common place and on any beach on the east or south coast of the mainland in the Summer there will always be some ladies topless.

Ibiza and Formentera are definitely where toplessness is most prevalent of anywhere I am aware of in Europe. On some beaches it is at least 50%.

The relaxed attitude makes more people try it than otherwise would in my opinion. My wife, who will go topless whenever she can when lying sunbathing somewhere, will be topless the whole time on beaches on Ibiza. She walks around, goes swimming, talks to other people and has done all of these things infront of people she knows - something I just don’t think she would do elsewhere.

Her confidence has definitely rubbed off on others as friends we were with ended up doing the same when it was clearly not on their radar before then.

We are looking to make the booking for June holiday/vacation now. I think we might try Ibiza or Formentera. Are there any beaches or hotels you would recommend? Where is it most common?
