Basically, while going topless is neither legal nor illegal on the Dutch side, the vast majority will NOT practice toplessness and in particular, the local population in general neither practices nor, in many cases, appreciates it. There will always be some who will and with things being the way they are today there is virtually no right or wrong and given the present economical situation of the island as whole, I doubt anyone would challenge the practice. More often than not, the topless bathers are a very small minority group.
