Right NOW, people can probably go nude end to end, because there are no restaurants, etc., on the beach. However, it will not last, and to expect that it will, is unrealistic. The 'five stars' are supposed to be starting to rebuild in February. Once some of them are open and more tourists start to come back to the beach, the gendarmes will be back, enforcing the no nudity rule. The gendarmes have been there enforcing it because that's what the local government wants. Irma did not change that. Those that want Orient the way it was 30 years ago should book trips soon, early and often, as it will not last.
