The previous Guinness World record for the Largest Bikini Parade was 331 participants set in Cayman Islands earlier this year.
Organisers were hoping to set a Guinness World Record for the largest bikini photo shoot, but were pleased that participants managed to smash the world record for the largest bikini parade .
"Unfortunately the rain played a part, but, overall, we've had a great day," said organiser Laurence Finn from Club 100 For Ladies.
