My wife and I have been doing nude beaches in the Caribbean, Mexico, and Hawaii for decades. IMHO the best nude beach is Orient, on French St. Maarten, even without the Club Orient naturist resort open. Restaurants on the beach are available. GREAT beach, without anyone hassling you to be naked right away if you want to take your time. For "AI" the new SECRETS resort is about 7 minutes away (if that), and by the time you come it should be fully ready (book far in advance). "SXM" has incredible dining, Front St. Philipsburg has great jewelry bargains, lots of scenery, and warm people. Hope this helps. BTW I did a story about "Trying Naturism for the first time" years ago. PM me and I'll give you a link, not sure I can publish it here. (I'm a travel writer.)
