St. Martin: March 6, 2008



We decided to start off the vacation over at Orient Beach. This is a long sandy beach on the French side. I like it because you can rent chairs, umbrellas, get drinks delivered to your chair and there are also some good beachside restaurants. Orient Beach is also great for people watching. French side beaches allow topless bathing and Orient Beach also has a nude section. Needless to say there are a lot of characters that roam this beach. The nudity never shocks me but some of the outfits are hilarious. On previous years I have seen an older couple that managed to put on their hat, t-shirt and sneakers to go for a walk. They seemed very concerned about the sun but didn’t seem to mind that they had no bottoms. There was also the body builder with his tight boxer brief swim shorts and his girl that had a Borat style swimsuit. I think she would have been better off nude. There was also the older man who must recently caught the nudist bug. He was strutting his stuff but had serious tan lines. Not a good look even on the fittest person.

We settled in at Bikini Beach and rented some chairs and umbrella. Bikini Beach has great food and drinks. I like being able to have a nice relaxing lunch and escape the sun for a little bit. They also have great margarita’s and guacamole.
