    Orient Bay Beach post-Irma

    in St. Martin/St. Maarten

    Posted

    Did you use a taxi to get there? As of last week many taxis in the port area were discouraging people from going to the French side. I've read many reports from Club Orient, and want to go to that beach again. Fortunately I have 100 days left, so things should improve. In my previous visits, it was easy to find someone to call you a cab back to the ship. I hope that is the case again.

     

     

     

    I’ve got a taxi booked to go there next week with 10 other people. I know of cruise ship passengers who have gone recently. There are plenty of tourists on the island who go daily. Orient beach (sand and water) is still beautiful and at least two places are renting chairs , umbrellas , food and drink and toilets available. Looking inland you will still see destruction as of this date. So don’t go if that matters.

     

    Tell the taxi driver to screw off if they discourage you! :-)

    Getting mixed signals between this board and Trip Advisor. While I understand it isn't what it once was, is it a decent beach to go to? Most interested in getting chairs and umbrellas and maybe a snack and/or drinks.

     

     

     

    Yes about 200 lounge chairs available , most in the clothing optional area. Umbrellas , about 100 most on the clothing optional area,

    Yes full hot menu and even mixed frozen drinks

    Orient beach is ready for you. Taxis are easily available inside the port. 8 dollars pp if you are eight ppl or more. You can share with others who are going to same place. Perhaps assure they will come back to pick you up as it may not be busy enough there for taxis just to wait for people.

     

    As of today There are at least two temporary bars selling food, booze , drinks , chairs and umbrellas.
