Hubby and I usually get our own beach chairs and umbrellas from Pack lite for the week and bring our own cooler for snacks and drinks. We usually hit Mullet but wondered if anyone had any suggestions for other beaches that this is accepted at and would be worth going to.

Club Orient beach is great, even if you don't want to go naked. No one cares whether you go naked, no one cares if you bring your own food and drink, decent bathrooms, one of the nicest beaches on the island, fairly secure parking if you park by the store, or you can park in the new parking lot behind the new restaurants, the NICEST people on the planet on the beach, and if you want other drinks or food, you can go to the Perch or Papagayo, or walk down to one of the other restaurants.

Is it all right to bring you own chairs and umbrellas?

Yes, absolutely. You can't set them up in front of the Club Orient chairs, but you can certainly bring your own chairs and umbrella.

I don't know whether you can take your own stuff to AM or not. I have not personally been there for a long time.

Baie Rouge is also a very nice beach to bring your own stuff. It also has the best of both worlds. Textile near the beach bars east end and naked at the west end. Safe parking and great for a beach picnic.

I believe you can, but not in front of either "beach bar." There's an area in the middle where I think you could bring your own stuff. But Anse Marcel Beach Bar specifically has a sign you can't bring your own coolers. I would try it in the center of the beach.

Another vote to try Baie Rouge, easy to get to, parking, nice beach, easy in and out of the water [we sat at the far right side] We brought our own picnic lunch, though there were 2 beach bars selling at least drinks

Wife and I walk from Orient Village to the Club O beach section. I bring a small cooler of drinks. She carries a beach blanket and towels. Plenty of room, calm water, good snorkeling. They also have a parking lot if you don't want to walk. The parking lot is next to their general store where you can buy fruit, sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, cover ups, water, ice cream etc. if you forget something.

If you have your own chairs and want to bring coolers, I'd strongly suggest Baie aux Prunes (Plum Bay) or Baie Longue ... the only negative I can imagine anyone suggesting is the lack of amenities, but you have that covered.
