STORYLINE
Chile''s only nudist beach has gained massively in popularity since it opened four years ago in one of South America''s most conservative countries.
The nudist beach - Playa Luna (Moon Beach) - was opened four years ago in an isolated cove on Chile''s central coast, about 70 kilometres north of the city of Valparaiso.
The organiser of the beach, Rene Rojas, says the beach has been very popular, attracting people of all ages and walks of life.
Rojas says the number of nudists is growing and young people are becoming increasingly interested as well.
Chile is one of South America''s most conservative Roman Catholic countries - divorce was illegal here until just recently.
