I’ve worn swim thongs on beaches in Spain, Portugal and Greece during the last decade or so. I tend to do a bit of homework in advance on which beaches I plan to go to. In Spain it’s the long, sandy beaches of the Costa de la Luz, In Portugal, the long sand-bar islands reached by bridge or ferry of the Eastern Algarve, and, in Greece, the small quiet coves of the islands.
I’ve never had any hassle or issues even though it’s rare to see another guy in a thong. I’ve had the occasional person take a sneaky photograph but that’s it. There’s not much you can do about that and, to be honest, I didn’t really mind.
For me, sunbathing, swimming and walking on the beach in a thong is one of life’s great pleasures. I absolutely love it and, hopefully, it’s something we’ll be able to do again one day.
