That's really sad. They actually arrested them? My gosh did they have to post bond? I suppose there are a fair number of tourists who take an excursion to Orient Beach and truly do not know the history of the beach. Maybe the cruise lines who offer excursions here should add a 'warning' after describing the activities that says something like ... "PLEASE NOTE: You may encounter nude sunbathers on this beach." Well, at least the southern end of Orient Beach remains clothing optional and to would be a big mistake if that ever changed. Maybe I should have added the male was giving the gendarmes a hard time. Probably pissed them off a bit. They were led off the beach in cuffs with towels. I cant say what happened after that. As for the cruise lines giving warnings, from the conversations I've had with cruisers who come to Club O beach, they know full well what to expect from the tour hawkers in town, as well as the cabbies and word of mouth. Have you never seen the signs in Philipsberg advertising " see the world famous nude beach " ? Its no wonder the cruisers have gained the reputation of gawkers and pests. Not all ,of course, but there is enough of them to create the problems that sometimes occur. We will be there shortly and Im very curious to see how it is now with Cedrick pretty much running things. I see a pretty heavy cruise ship schedule for the time we will be there.
