How old were the students? When we were there last April, two women marched a group of preschoolers through the beach and acted surprised, and mad at what she saw!

Just returned from the island. Did Happy Bay twice. Walked in on the road. Gate is locked. The wall is no longer there--just rubble. Easy stroll to the water.

Was covered up, but she was giving a lot of people the business all the way down the beach!

Lucky she didn't call the Gendarmes. It's been known to happen. Thank you for covering up.

Lucky she didn't call the Gendarmes. It's been known to happen. Thank you for covering up. The use of Happy Bay as a clothing optional beach is so widely spoken about of late that I wonder if many people don’t understand that technically speaking, it really isn’t clothing optional at all? Its been said, but not nearly often enough, people need to be respectful of the fact that not ALL French beaches are co and not all the islanders appreciate the undressed beach goers. Fortunately for those who do wish to practice the clothing optional experience, Orient is the one tried and true place to do so and be guaranteed a good experience without any awkward situations but anywhere else on the French side of the island they might encounter people who are less appreciative of the practice and who might raise opposition and objections to the practice. And even Orient is Clothing Optional as opposed to being a mandatory Nude beach. As has been said, we have to be respectful of the people of the Island. It’s their home and we are their guests and should act accordingly. Easy enough to cover up if families or groups of school kids are there and I’m sure people do, and once they leave, it’s yours to enjoy as you like again.

Ah yes, they were much older! Is the beach itself in good shape? any hazardous debris?

The beach is still very beautiful and clean!!! The only thing is that there are less palm trees so less shadow !

And well she should. Happy bay is more of a local beach and not C/O.
If the phone doesn't ring .... it's me
