Orient Bay is a clothing optional beach on the "Riviera" of French St. Martin. The 2 mile long, white powdered sand beach is protected from the Atlantic waves by a reef, and the bottom has a very gradual slope.
A major attraction of Orient Bay is the nude beach and the world´s famous Club Orient, the island´s only naturist resort at the southern end of the beach. Clothing is optional in front of the Club, and it is publicly accessible. The other parts of the beach has more clothing, but in fact you may encounter nude sunbathers anywhere.
Hurricane Irma left a trail of devastation on Orient Bay The residential area and the dining square in the central section of Orient Bay got a major blow as did all the restaurants, palm coves and almost all coconut trees are gone. But vegetation is growing back and restaurants are reopening.
The Southern part of the beach is where nude people dominate, close to the area of Club Orient. Here, some may even pop up in restaurants dressed by their skin only!
