This was on San Pedro Pescador’s beach, in northern Spain. Between the end of the Costa Brava and the actual Pyrinees, there is this gulf of loooooooong beaches, not a cliff in sight, where many days you can walk into the water for several hundred meters without going over waist-high. San Pedro’s beach is very large and the village very small, so for people who like their space it’s a much better choice than Rosas or Ampuriabrava.
One day, our umbrella was surrounded, at distances of 10-20m, by three groups. Three old women on a dune to our left, seven Germans behind them, and to our right, a young couple with a 1yo boy. I was 14, the bros 8 and 5, if I remember correctly.
The baby’s mother was wearing a flesh-colored bikini, which has to be one of the dumbest inventions ever. That particular beach has “no nakedness” signs (local reg) but heck, if you want to go naked, go naked, no?
Anyway. My parents left for a walk along the water’s edge. As soon as they were out of sight, the three old women went topless, the Germans started doing the deed (did I mention they were seven? I was too squicked to look, but probably should have!) and so did the baby’s parents.
The baby tried to wander into the water, but my brothers got hold of him and played with him. The wind kept blowing bottles of lotion from the parents’ camp to ours and from ours to the other two.
Suddenly, the three old women got their swimsuits back in place! There was a scramble in the German camp; by the time my parents appeared over the dune, you wouldn’t have thought anything other than “face up, face down” had been happening. The baby’s parents, unfazed, continued for a while. Once they finished, the woman got her bottom back on and came to retrieve her baby and her bottles of lotion.
