After a couple of years, we are heading back to St Martin this September and The Goddess and I could not be happier. Of course, it’s hard to think about anything else now that the booking has been made and we’re already planning on what we want to do, apart from snooze, drink, bob etc.

A few years back, we took the Tiko-Tiko trip to Tintamarre and had a great time on the beach there. I’ve started researching how to make our own way there since, while the Tiko-Tiko trip was great, we like the idea of just getting there by ourselves with a picnic and a couple of bottles of rosé. Now, to my point…

I’ve just read here about the changes introduced about nudity on the beach and an exemption that Tiko-Tiko secured. So, here’s my question (at last): is the exemption only applied to Tiko-Toko customers? If we made a trip over on a day she wasn’t sailing, would we be breaking the law by lying on the beach in the buff?
