The story of a young woman told to cover up by RCMP after she was sunbathing topless on a local beach touched a nerve with many Castanet viewers.

More than 100 people commented on the story "Going topless not a crime" – with some heated debate both for and against woman baring it all on Okanagan beaches.

While there is no municipal bylaw in Kelowna against going topless, police claim they may ask women to cover up as a courtesy to families if people feel uncomfortable.

In a recent poll by Castanet, just over 62 per cent of more than 3,500 viewers voted to "live and let live" when it comes to topless sunbathing.

Castanet hit the beach to find out what those who were enjoying the sun and sand thought.
