Confused by a sentence in the 2nd link - ie 5 questions ...

"... It should be noted that some beaches are private in Saint-Martin and are therefore subject to an AOT; they have been sold by the State to individuals. Such is the case for plots of land in Nettle Bay, Friar's Bay, Orient Bay and the Anse Marcel Cove. ..."

Private beaces are subject to AOT? does not make sense
and Orient Bay has a private beach ie land sold to?

Am I mis reading this or is there a mistake in the story or?
