I follow 3 forums on SXM. Some say the seaweed on Orient is horrible on the beach and in the water. Others say it's not bad and yet another doesn't mention it at all. Those of you who have been there recently, what's the real story here? We were in Barbados in June and people told us the southern beaches were not swimmable due to the seaweed. Sounds like it's an issue in many places. Worried this may ruin our trip to the island. I realize we can go to other beaches, but as we are older, we've been there done that and are happy just hanging at Orient.
