In Australia’s Gold Coast, a mile-long march featuring 357 women dressed in bikinis and pink visors aimed to set a new world record for the largest bikini parade.
The event was monitored by officials from the Guinness Book of World Records, who confirmed the previous record held by the Cayman Islands, which stood at 331 participants set in June 2010, was surpassed.
Organized by the Gold Coast Bulletin, the bikini parade commenced at a local shopping mall, with participants covering the required distance of 1.6 kilometers on Surfers Paradise beach.
Hannah Lindgren, one of the participants, expressed her thoughts, stating, “The Gold Coast is all about beautiful women and beautiful beaches. It is the perfect place to hold the bikini parade.” The organizers hope that this parade will help shift the public’s perception of the Gold Coast as a crime-prone area.
It is not surprising that the parade might have distracted some individuals. A lifeguard reportedly mentioned, “We’ve been trying to watch the water… but we have been having difficulty patrolling the beach.”
Additionally, four women were disqualified for being “overdressed.”
