That was kind of a joke among those who preferred to be au natural on Orient Beach and the stretch of beach that ran parallel to Club Orient. Trust me, there's absolutely nothing 'dark' about the upper two-thirds of this beach. In fact it has always been topless optional when laying out or walking the entire beach. And, now with the return of Kakao, Kontiki and Bikini Beach it's really worth spending time on both parts of Orient Beach to see what is good for you and what's not.
The origins of the "dark" side dig goes back to when Orient became divided as you used to be able to be nude anywhere on Orient according to my friends who were there at that time.Its a semi serious shot at the situation as it is now with the more enlightened folks now being relegated to a much smaller area. Not exactly sure when that happened or why.
