 Re: St.Martin nude beach
You must have heard of Orient Beach! I've been there twice in the past 3 years for day visits while on cruises and am returning in November for an 8 day stay.
Our first visit there was also our first nude in public experience, and we just loved it. Very comfortable, liberating, friendly and "natural", we got used to it in minutes.
The next year we spent a week at a resort in Jamaica on the clothing optional side and loved that as well though the beach was far nicer in St Martin and only the beach section was nude at the Grand Lido in Jamaica.
When we were there a year ago the best of Orient Beach was topless with a small nude section on the opposite end. But one could walk the entire beach nude.
My understanding is that the rules have changed recently for the rest of the beach, though early morning nude beach walks are still common and there is little chance of being cited (whatever that entails!). Hard for me to imagine that there is much enforcement but then again I would have never expected this place, on the French side, to make any rules regarding nudity on any of their gorgeous beaches.
Maybe we'll see you on the beach in November! I'm looking forward to an entire clothes-free week at this beautiful place.
