Going on a family vacation this summer to the Bahamas. We have never been. I heard it’s rather conservative there. Has anyone ever worn or seen thongs on the beaches there? I’m hoping to wear one and hoping to convince my wife to wear one (fingers crossed). Thank you for your assistance.

While I’ve never been to the Bahamas, I really can’t imagine a place being any more thong intolerant than most US beaches, especially a tropical one so dependent upon tourism. I’d read for years about Jamaica being an island where men wearing thongs was frowned upon (at least outside of adults only resorts), but I’ve seen posts from multiple guys on Instagram who wore thongs throughout their holidays there and had zero issues. My advice would be the same as at any other beach where you aren’t sure about thonging; wear your thong underneath your other suit and lose a layer if you feel comfortable.

Thank you for that advice. We did consider an adults only resort but since stepdaughter is going to, that is not an option. But I like your suggestion about wearing a thong under, maybe under square cut suit, and then seeing if it feels comfortable to lose the square cut suit. Thank you again.

I wore a thong all day while on Princess Cruise Lines private island in the Bahamas and the local ladies working there in the shops LOVED it!

Thank you for your reply. That’s great to hear. My wife is not convinced it’s a good idea yet. Someone suggested I wear a thong under baggy trunks or shorts and slip them off if it seems ok. Your reply is excellent support that it should be ok. Thank you again.

I wore one on Lucaya beach when we took a cruise from Ft Laud to the bahamas. I was several women in thongs but no other guys. A lady asked if she could braid my hair which was odd since I have very short hair. She was combing the entire beach looking for business, however. I hev to say there is great sand over there. The beach is not very big or wide though.
