keeping the peace and enforcing the rules of civilized be-havior, the newspaper O Dia reported Tuesday.
Carrying no weapons and attired only in dark glasses and sunhats, on sunny days the burly guards patrol Abrico beach, a nudists-only area surrounded by mountains and lush vegetation in Grumari Park, just outside this state capital.
In addition to barring entry to clothed individuals and flushing out the curious who prowl about the bushes trying to get a glimpse of the nature lovers, the guards counsel beachgoers on proper nudist etiquette, the story noted.
Doffing your clothes doesn't mean ditching the rules, said one of the guards, who goes by the fictitious name of Alexandre to prevent, he says, friends from kidding him about his job.
The guards most common "interventions" are asking men to avoid glaring at women and to get into the water immediately if their admiration becomes visible.
