By far the largest part of the beach caters for "true" (for want of a better word!) naturists; the libertine section - although the most crowded - is but one small part. As Johnny60 pointed out in his post, "Like it or not, the influx of Libertine culture brings money, big money which helps the village survive and evolve." I have long held this view - that the attempts over the years to curtail it is akin to shooting themselves in the foot! If they succeeded, they would be driving away the big money, libertines are far and away the biggest spenders in all areas of the resort. I tend to believe that the authorities have come to the same conclusion, the police - who patrolled the libertine beach for some years - were withdrawn, ostensibly because they were costing too much, but I'm sure it was because their presence was driving people (and their money) away. The resort owners might disapprove of the libertine activity, but they are in business - and no-one sets out to kill the goose that lays their golden eggs!
