I know, I know...Orient Beach is the number one recommended beach in St. Martin/St. Maarten. However, we are not comfortable with going to a clothing optional beach. Does anyone have a recommendation of a pretty beach, low surf, that we could visit while in St. Maarten?

We have researched a little about Mullet Bay but have heard that the surf is pretty high there and really more for surfers and strong swimmers.

Now we are looking at Little Bay and Great Bay. Anyone ever been to these beaches and could give us some details on them?

Thanks!

Just go to the beach near the dock. It's great! Restaurants, $10 buckets of beer (6 bottles) right next to all the great shopping. Nice sand. rent waverunners etc.. We stayed there all day and we all had a lot of fun.

Everyting Cool is a great place right on front street - we have a timeshare in St. Maarten with beautiful beach but still wander downtown to visit Everyting Cool. Great food, drinks, water sports, beach, music and more. You'll find few people who actually do clothing optional, even on Orient. Simpson Bay is also nice - take a taxi from the dock, very mild surf.
Give my love to the island when you are there - I'll see them all in November this year.

We went to St. Maarten last may and took a taxi to Dawn Beach. It is very beautiful. Thay have rentals for chairs, umbrellas and snorkle gear. A shack that sells all kinds of drinks and food. Their were a couple of women further down the beach that were topless.

Look, the chances of you getting an eyefull at Orient are slim. We went to the " family side" and saw a grand total of two topless women ( middle aged defianately not sex kittens ) , and they were suntanning, not parading about. We did see one old guy in a thong, that was bad!

It really is not a big orgy there, trust me, it 's not that bad, there is an end that is clearly lablelled as
a nude beach, there is a big bill board marking off that end, so it's not like you could accidently wander into it.

It is the funnest nicest beach though, we got 2 $ heinkens, used a freshwater shower that was at the bar/restaruant we rented our lounge chiars in front of, and had the best day there!The water is lovely, the sand is lovely, what's not to like.

I realize that for some they hear the words "nude beach" and belive me, if it was a bunch of naked people walking around I would have freaked, as it was, it was fine.!!
