Lake Geneva nudists fight for their lake section

A hidden stretch of Lake Geneva shoreline has become the focus of a long-running battle over public nudity.

The Tribune de Genève reports that for around 30 years, a small community of naturists has maintained the unofficial beach, cleaning it and keeping it tidy. 

They say they're increasingly facing complaints, police visits and fines of up to CHF 300, despite insisting the site is about respect for nature, not sexual behaviour. 

The group says growing publicity and anti-social visitors are threatening what they call their little corner of paradise.
