But, then, the 300 lb. guy would look less objectionable if he were wearing a Speedo? I know the officers are only doing their jobs, but as Jenni says, nudists, naturists or even textiled people aren't happy when something they look forward to is suddenly taken away. And, before someone says it, we're only visitors, "they" make the rules. I get that. The world is changing, and not always for the better. We've been going there for 30 years, many on here for even longer. And, I can remember many c/o options that have been taken away. Which makes one worry "What's next?". If I were mortified at the prospect of seeing a naked stranger, I wouldn't go where I knew they were, But, that's just me.
Unfortunately, we can agree to disagree, My friends, family are not going to stop going to Tintamarre because we may see naturists, nor will the other French families that come on weekends & holidays.
There was a time 30 years ago when Orient was different & there was only Club Orient, today you have many local families sharing the beach. Should they not go to the beach because they don't want to see naturists walking up & down the beach at Orient?
We will be picnicking there tomorrow with French friends, there will be many other French families enjoying their weekend as well.
The conversation started this evening in Marigot at dinner this evening with friends it will be an interesting conversation continued tomorrow at Tintamarre. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
