We have been to Orient Beach about 5 times over the past 12 years and always stay at Esmeralda. There are about 15 separate buildings with 3 or 4 units and each building has its own pool only a few feet from your porch. The pools are very nice. My wife won't go nude on the beach but will at the Esmeralda pools. We ask for a unit with a more secluded pool and they always oblige. Most people hang out at the beach so typically we are the only ones using our unit's pool. When we see any of the guests in the other rooms we always ask if they mind if we swim nude. No one has ever objected.

On our first trip there was a much larger nude area at Coco Beach (the beach area in front of Esmeralda) with more than a dozen people nude. Now as noted by others, it is very limited. If you are going to go nude on the beach, now I also suggest CO. Some one mentioned going down there and having a drink. If either of you are a little reluctant to go nude, have another drink.
