It's really too bad. Slowly the tourists that have enjoyed the ability to be nude while vacationing on SXM for so many years will stop coming.


Cuba has 4 resorts on two islands that have designated clothing optional sections on their beaches, spectacular beaches. They also all offer clothing optional catamaran charters through guest services at those resorts. Bad decisions and the end of the US embargo could hurt Saint Martin's tourism industry.


Isn't it ALSO possible that diminished nudity could also HELP the St Martin tourist economy? It's possible people have avoided the island to avoid the nudity that is there. Read this thread on this board and it has been discussed that nudity is illegal on the Dutch side and yet the laws are flouted and ignored and nudity still occurs.
