ST. GEORGE'S, Grenada — Bikini- and Speedo-clad tourists beware. The Caribbean island of Grenada says it recently began enforcing an indecent- exposure law banning bathing suits away from the beach, as well as saggy pants that reveal underwear.
Police commissioner James Clarkson said violators are usually ordered to cover up. But the law allows for a $270 fine or six months in jail.
Clarkson said Friday that cruise ships usually inform passengers of proper non-beach attire, but "from time to time, there is the one or two who take their chances."
