Officials with North Carolina's Brunswick County said they have decided to ban nude sunbathing on Bird Island.
The county Board of Commissioners said Monday that Commissioner Marty Cooke will work with the Brunswick County Sheriff's Department to post a sign on the island, which is a popular destination for nude sunbathers, informing visitors that public nudity is illegal in North Carolina, The (Wilmington, N.C.) Star-News reported Tuesday.
Cooke said officials researched the issue after receiving a complaint from a visitor who took his children to the island and discovered that, not only was it not registered as a nude beach but, nude beaches are illegal in the state.
It has become almost an accepted fact that Bird Island is a nude beach,
Cooke said.
He said the sign will also inform beachgoers of other activities that are illegal, including setting off fireworks and littering.
