We used to stay at the Alamanda in Orient Village before Irma. We haven't been back since and are curious about the seaweed situation generally on Orient Beach. Thanks for any feedback.

It changes daily. All depends on the ocean currents. One day could be heavy and the next day could be absolutely clear. Generally the beach bars get it cleaned up. The Atlantic side of the island tends to get it more that the Caribbean side.
