Speaking of gawkers and pests from the cruises, the parking lot at Pedro's seemed to become the main gathering spot for that. The brave ones head on down to the beach but quite a few just stay up in the lot taking pictures towards the resort.

My wife and I have gone to Orient since 2004. She used to be comfortable walking topless from one end of the beach to the other. Unfortunately, the last few times over about the last five years it hasn't been that way. Once the sand in front of Pedro's washed out it was necessary to go through the parking lot just to get from one side of the beach to the other. She made the mistake of not taking a top with her one time and said it was really uncomfortable getting past that parking lot.

Did Irma at least put some sand back in front of Pedro's location?
