Beach town cracks down on half-naked tourists with hefty fines for inappropriate attire

Another vacation destination is calling out beachgoers over their swimsuits as summer hotspots continue to combat the disruptions of overtourism.

The seaside resort of Les Sables-d'Olonne, France, has implemented a ban against tourists frolicking around town in their swimwear.

"It's a question of respect for locals who don't want people wandering around their town half-naked," Moreau wrote. 

Municipal police officers are empowered to enforce the rule, with violators facing up to $175 in fines. 

Les Sables-d'Olonne sits on the Atlantic coast of western France.

It's known for being one of the largest seaside spots in the European country. 

Earlier this month, the mayor of Chetaïbi, Alegeria, called for longer and looser shorts on men - issuing a decree banning them from walking around in Bermuda shorts.

"These summer outfits disturb the population. They go against our society's moral values and sense of decency," Mayor Layachi Allaoua said, as Fox News Digital previously reported.

"The population can no longer tolerate seeing foreigners wandering the streets in indecent clothing," he added.

Officials in the coastal city of Annaba then called on the mayor to rescind his order.
