Orient Bay Beach
Free admission
Orient Beach, St Maarten
The Basics
Protected from the Atlantic waves by a reef, this 2-mile (3.2-kilometer) long, white sand beach has gentle waves. Lined with tiki huts, colorful beach chairs, and restaurants, Orient Bay Beach thrums with action, giving it the reputation as the Saint Tropez of the Caribbean. Visit independently or explore Orient Bay Beach as part of half-day or full-day St. Martin tour that might include sightseeing adventures on both the French and Dutch sides of the island.

Small Company, Big Tour!
Jose owns and operates his own little company. Sometimes small is better and on this occasion it definitely was. Our trip (there were only 6 of us) was tailored to what we wanted rather than sticking to a rigid itinerary. The tour also lasted way longer than was advertised, which was a fantastic bonus. I would thoroughly recommend this.

Things to Know Before You Go
Orient Bay Beach is suitable for solo travelers, couples, and families—but do expect some nudity.
Tours may include roundtrip hotel transfers, food and drinks, use of snorkeling equipment, towels, and guides. Check tours for specific details.
Remember sun protection and water for hydration.
Clothing is optional in front of Orient Bay Beach Club. Other parts of the beach tend to attract sunbathers wearing a bit more clothing.
Umbrellas, beach chairs, and snorkeling equipment can be rented for a fee.
How to Get There
Orient Bay Beach is on the east coast of the French side of the island. If not on a tour, take a taxi or drive—parking in the area is accessible and free of charge. Expect a 20-minute drive from Marigot and about a 20- to 30-minute drive from Philipsburg on the Dutch side.
Trip ideas
When to Get There
For fewer crowds, the best time to visit St. Maarten is spring or fall when cheaper rates are offered and rains are less likely. The weather is pleasant year-round, with the warmest weather in summer. Humpback whales can be observed from February to June.
Nudity and Nature
Orient Bay Beach is a favorite among nudists and naturalists. The entire marine area is a protected marine reserve, making the snorkeling the best on the island. Travelers may rent gear at the beach or go just a bit farther afield to Pinel Island, Greey Cay, and Tintamarre Beach, all reachable by a short boat ride or by paddling in a kayak or canoe.
