St Martin
Visiting the island again, we love it here. Its late in "the season" so its not crowded! Orient beach generally is recovering, though Club Orient is still a maze of destroyed buildings and rubble. The Perch bar is open and has nice nice and drinks available. 2 chairs and an umbrella are$25 for the day. The balance of the beach was fairly vacant up by the hotels, mid beach had some crowds where there are new (1-2 yrs) beach restaurants and clothing spots.
Alternative nude beaches are Happy Bay, gorgeous beach no services, and bay Rouge, also no services. Cupe Coy on dutch side is unofficial but generally no cares. There is a nudist catamaran cruise which was great fun all day trip included meals and gear for snorkeling etc. love this island!
Never been there...........yet. However Feb/Mar 2025 my wife and I will be doing a Cruise to that part of the World. If you were to choose, St Martin or St Maarten?
The island isn't that big, so you can see some of both in a day if you want. St. Martin is the French side where there is more nudity allowed on the beaches. Sint Maarten is the Dutch side where there is more nightlife. When Club Orient was open it was no contest... the French side spending the majority of time nude on the grounds and beach of Club O. Now, I suppose days on the French side nude on Orient Beach and nights on the Dutch side at the casinos or nightclubs. If your cruise isn't staying past dark, head to the French side for a day at the nude end of Orient Beach. Either way, your cruise ship will be docking in Philipsburg on the Dutch side. Marigot, the capital of the French side, doesn't have facilities big enough for cruise ships.
We enjoy the whole island. There is always something new to do or see. The people are friendly. Orient beach , about 1 mile long w nude section at south end it faces East, is the most popular but other nude beaches, Isle Pinel ocean side, Happy Bay, and Bay Rouge, to some degree Cupe Coy. Dutch side is not nude friendly. I wear tiny suits when there. Food is great on the french side but there sre spots on Dutch side as well.
