matt082600 Posted January 22, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2023 My wife and I have a cruise stop in St. Maarten. We want to go to Orient Beach and would like to try out some of the nude beach sections. Can anyone advise as to where the best spots/bars/resorts are in that section? Also, what is the best way to get there from the pier; taxi? Thanks in advance for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get dropped off, then take look at whoever else is there and make a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negn Posted January 25, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Totally nude is down by where Club Orient was. It has never reopened after the hurricane. Topless is common all over the beach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of beach bar choices for su needs, drinks and lunch. Read google or trip advisor reviews to make a choice. From my research it seems that Coco Beach charged the most for sunbeams/umbrellas even if you dine there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SUESEABE Posted January 29, 2023 #9 Share Posted January 29, 2023 We will be bringing our snorkeling gear. Anyone know which St. Maarten beach is good for snorkeling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One has a preference for Pinel Island for a snorkel in the protected Marine Park. No booking required for the Pinel Ferry from Orient Beach. Make a one’s “base” on Pinel at either at Karibuni or Yellow Beach (Booking advisable at either), for from the beach, with gentle waves, snorkelling, or if stronger swimmer, then bigger rocks/waves and more fish round the headland to the north. No doubt others on CC with chime in giving their choices, then one can make an informed decision. But the codicil added, “subject to weather conditions”, as this can change the experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
