Back in the day when we first met it.....Orient was quiet, undeveloped and you could pretty much count on having the beach to yourself or sharing it with just another two or three couples and the ORIGINAL Club O denizens for the full expanse of the beach.

Once it started being developed it lost a lot of it's appeal for us and I think, in all honesty, the last time we were there, my almost sixteen year old Grandson was but a toddler, and even then, we were at the quiet end of the beach.

We were so totally turned off that day we've not bothered going back, and I do know that was a particularly bad day on Orient, but there are so many beaches we love that we really don't miss it much. And we do have Mullet conveniently at our toes so that's where we spend many of our beaching days.
