If walking away from Club O toward Mt. Vernon, do any resorts or restaurants with beach chairs allow nudity? Or, is it topless only?

From our experience, there is no beach nudity beyond the Club O beach. And,frankly, the disrespectful attitude towards the unclothed body is such that crossing the rocks at Pedro's would not be a pleasant experience, although the textiled crowd does come to stare at those who are not.

Coco Beach at Esmeralda sometimes allows nudity, but you would need to check with them personally, as it seems to vary. They apparently allow it during the week (usually) but not on weekends. Otherwise, no place other than Club O allows full nudity on the beach.

No more nude section at Coco's

Used in June several times including a Saturday. Beach boy said they were only setting it up upon request.

As far as I know, they are still allowing it, as anon says. They go back and forth, but I have not heard that they definitely have discontinued it yet again.

That's the least of the island's tourism problem now. Many are choosing to avoid St. Martin vacationing entirely due to many other internal problems. The nudity was accepted on all of Orient and Cupecoy for many years until recently. I would love to see the island the way it was 10 or 15 yrs ago again. It is very sad and alarming how many do not visit anymore. Tourism Dept has it's work cut out. The nudity was funand harmless at one time. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/usflag.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cloud.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

When I saw Coco s section they put some barriers, and made a small enclosure. Like Carol said,it's an on/off thing. I've seen topless up and down the beach.. But only sparsely.
