Google Maps is a constant source of entertainment, showing everything from the shocking to the downright hilarious.
A recently unveiled image taken from Google Maps shows a scene which is both weird and wonderful, taken on a beach in the US.
The sunbather is completely naked, which is surprising in itself given that everyone around is fully clothed.
One man wears a polo shirt and long shorts, while a lady is walking past in an ankle length dress.
However, the sunbather seems to buck the trend, as he is wearing not a scrap of clothing.
He makes no attempt to cover up, either, bending down to pick up what looks like sun cream from the ground, giving everyone else on the beach a full view of his behind.
In fact, the woman standing in front of him seems to be turning to get a look too as he bends over the sand.
The man – who seems to have few qualms about being watched – has clearly taken some steps to prepare himself for the beach: his skin is smooth and free from hair.
However, his modesty is protected from Google Maps users at least by one simple thing: a conveniently placed beach umbrella pole.
The placement of the pole falls directly in between his buttocks, concealing his private parts from the rest of the world looking at the still image.
If you scroll around the image, it becomes clear that the man is not a lone exhibitionist, but actually one of many naked people on the beach.
This is because it is a nudist beach – the full title on Google Maps is Haulover Naturist beach, and a number of naked women and men are on the sand – although their nudity has been blurred out.
This isn’t the first time a naked person has appeared on Google Maps Street View, which captures people all over the world.
Earlier this year, a naked woman on Google Maps in Miami was captured on her porch.
She was standing outside her doorway, in front of a barbecue unit, and appeared to be showering.
She did not seem aware a Google Maps camera van was driving past herself – but thankfully her modesty was protected by a blurring technique during the edit process.
