Cedrick has posted a video on his page of the rock barrier that seperated the dark side from Club O beach being removed. No explanation. The end of the nude beach ? Certainly hope not.

In reviewing the video it appears to me the removal was of the rock wall barrier that surrounded Pedro's and not the rock jetty. If I remember, Pedro's was elevated above the beach and ocean, and the rocks were around the perimeter on three sides. I also remember the staircase on the ocean side, which enabled you to climb up without climbing on the wet rocks. Perhaps someone has a new use for the rocks? Or the large rocks will be replaced and reused for a new Pedro's?? But anyone guess on the eventual outcome.

Did anyone ask him why they were removed? You would think that he would know. In the video, he says that he doesn't know why they are being removed, but will give an update.

Here is the link to the article in French on StMartinWeek: https://www.stmartinweek.fr/2020/05...ur-du-littoral-et-de-la-population/78814The reason for the work, which is budgeted at 100,000 euros, is beach restoration. The intent is to remove a few storm-damaged buildings near the shore, as well as the rocks in front of Pedro's and Papagayo, to restore the beach to its natural condition. The article notes, "L’ensemble de ces travaux ont fait l’objet de discussions avec les futurs exploitants, riverains et gestionnaires (Club Orient, Collectivité)." Translation: "All of this work was the subject of discussions with future business owners, residents, and managers (Club Orient, Community)."

A translation The Conservatoire du littoral continues its actions in favour of the littoral and the population BY AUTRE14 MAY 2020 0
Estimated reading time: 2 minutes At the end of 2019, the Conservatoire du littoral launched a call for projects for a reversible catering area and the rental of beach equipment on the site of Orient Bay beach and more specifically at “Chez Pedro” and “ Club Orient ”.
November 19, 2018 The prerequisite for the installation of the selected candidates is that the Conservatory must carry out restoration work on the beach strongly impacted by the passage of Irma in order to offer future operators a clean site and also to facilitate pedestrian traffic. on this public beach cluttered with numerous rocks which separate the beach from the adjoining plot.
Work progress:
Removal of rocks at “Chez Pedro” and “Papagayo”; Removal of the remains of the building which housed the toilets; Removal of the remains of Club Orient watersports located on the Conservatory plot; Removal of the boat hull positioned in the vegetation; Removal of the remains of rubble, Removal of all waste located in the area. The works started as soon as the containment was lifted, Monday, May 11. The commitments and administrative documents were prepared before and during the confinement, thus enabling the local company retained to resume activity as soon as the confinement ends.
A study on sedimentological movements and currents in the bay will be carried out with the BRGM in order to follow the evolution of this beach, which has undergone very strong erosion in this sector during the last decades after the installation of riprap.
A low fence (in boat rope) will delimit the public domain assigned to the Coastal Conservatory and accessible to all private land located at the back. At the end of the installation of the operator of the reversible restoration area, plantings will be carried out in order to improve the integration of the structure in the landscape.
All of this work was the subject of discussions with future operators, residents and managers (Club Orient, Community).
At the end of these beach restoration works, the area should regain all its natural splendor.
May 13, 2020 Total cost of the works (estimate): 100,000 euros, which should benefit from State support through the Convergence Contract.

Interesting that Club O watersports was apparently not on Club O property.

Yes all the barriers have been removed. There are photos on Jeff Bergers Everything St Martin page. No mention of eliminating the clothing optional section of the beach. I would imagine there will be some sort of demarcation between the two.
