Police in County Down have warned skinny dippers that they could be placed on the sex offenders register for their water based nudity.
On the PSNI Holywood Facebook page, an officer wrote: "Two males have had to be reported for indecent exposure as they thought it was a good idea to take all their clothes off and go for a swim - not a good idea"
Due to the fact there are young children about on the beach, this does seem like fair comment but being placed on the same list as sex offenders and paedophiles does perhaps seem like this "one label fits all" class of punishment is perhaps not fit for this particular porpoise.
The PSNI have also warned that they are on the lookout for people drinking alcohol on beach and will be increasing patrols in the North Down area to catch people out.
Between increasing manpower to catch someone having a beer on the beach, updating facebook and the resources devoted to the 'Bessbrook Massacre', it's lucky that Northern Ireland is always so peaceful in July and they can afford to use time and officers for such important assignments.
