New regulations aim to address conflicts by restricting access to specific beach sections for either nude or clothed visitors.

• The changes provide legal authority for beach wardens to issue warnings or remove individuals violating the rules, addressing complaints of harassment and unwanted photography.
• Reports of conflicts between nude bathers and clothed visitors prompted the stricter measures, with some FKK enthusiasts feeling observed or disrespected.
• Separate sections for clothed visitors will also be established to ensure equality and cater to different preferences among beachgoers.
