Re:St Maarten
Wow! I am so jealous! My time in the Carribean was spent on a sail boat. We did dock for a couple of days in St. Marteen - one side is Dutch the other French? I loved it! Spent time on a nude beach, did great window shopping - it was in 1990. We then spent time on St. Barts, St. Kits and then on down into Antiqua for race week which is a big International sail boat race.
My information would not be very accurate and I can't remember much anyway because we were very drunk the whole time! Have a great time! From what I remember one side is very conservative and the other is not? I remember having to cover up my bikini top to shop. But, all in all it was beautiful.

Re:St Maarten
St Maarten is fabulous! I went there last November and had a great time. Rent a car, you can drive around the whole island in like an hour. You could drive around the perimeter on the first day and get ideas for where you want to go back to and spend some time. The french side is where it's at for restaurants, the dutch side is where you do the partying and gambling. Both sides are great for shopping!
Have fun! I wanna go back!

Re:St Maarten
The nude beach or one of them is called oriental beach I think. Some friends of ours went there for their honeymoon.

Re:St Maarten
Orient Beach, on the french side. Think all the nude beaches are on the french side.

Re:St Maarten
I was there in April! A 7 day cruise to Peurto Rico, St. thomas and ending up in St. Marteen (St. Martin)... Orient beach was breath taking, as well as Mandarin Beach and my favorite was Oyster Bay on the french side. One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. I did allot of snorkeling, don't miss out on that! Bring an underwater camera! You are going to have a great time! ;D

Re:St Maarten
If you are going through st. Thomas, stop at Sapphire Beach! The best place to snorkel!

Re:St Maarten
Thanks Vaden!!! I am not sure if we are going to St Thomas or not. Thanks for all the pics! I cant wait to go! I havent been to any of the virgin islands yet but I have been to Aruba, Hawaii and a few others..but those 2 are my faves so far. I am excited about the nude beach(I have never been to one yet) but I know my bf won't take it all off :strip: :moon:. Thanks again!!!

Re:St Maarten
St Martin/ Maarten is da bomb!!
Stay at the clothing optional Orient Club on Orient Beach. We spent the most time there because the beach is amazing and there are lots of little cafes and clubs around.
Phillipsburg is the capital of the Dutch side and its kind of yucky, I stayed near there and spent almost all of our time away from there.
Cupecoy Beach is a small little nude without any commerce as well, its nice.
Grand Case has really yummy French restaurants on the beach. Their wine is superb and you can go to the Walmart and buy cheap French Medoc duty-free as well.
Marigot, the capital of the french side, is also nice for everything. They also have several bars with salsa dancing there, which is a must for me anywhere I go!

Re:St Maarten
This is a pic on the nude beach... ;D Notice couple on right.. It's pretty funny actually because most of the people are older and really saggy if you know what I mean? ;D It's cool though, I walked around without my top and when we got toward the end where it was more private, I took it all off and had the best skinny dipping time of my life!

Re:St Maarten
I didnt know u could take pics on a nude beach...I saw this episode of real sex on HBO where they were at a nudist colony and of course most of the people are older and saggy.. :o I dont know if I would want to walk around naked if I looked like some of them people :-\ but I guess more power to em!!! ;D

Re:St Maarten
Yeah Philly Dancer, I guess there it is ok. The people there were nothing to look at, that's for sure, but they are not really there to be eyed upon, they just want to feel "free" in a place so beautiful! I think I saw one guy that I said, "damn!".......... ;)

Re: St Maarten
Hi Girls, A friend and I are considering working in St Maarten for a minimum 3 month contract Jan-March from Australia. I was just wondering if anyone had done this before and if they're able 2 share any information or experiences. It tends to get quietter here during that time so do you think it will be worthwhile for us to give it a try?? ☺

Re: St Maarten
Any update on this?
I'm looking for a place where I can dance at night and make good money and just chill out at the beach during daytime.
