Far and away the most famous beach on the island, Orient is also the most renowned clothing-optional beach in the Caribbean. For the most part, it's not hedonistic—most of the beach is playfully topless, while full-scale nudity crouches toward the south end. Often nicknamed the Caribbean's St. Tropez, in fact the beach here is far better than on the Cote d'Azur, a carpet of soft sand—not rocky stubble—fringed by warm, clear water. And the scene is far more egalitarian, welcoming all ages, incomes, and lifestyles. Bring an appetite: The beach bars lining Orient go well beyond burgers and fries, serving sushi, salad Niçoise, and black Angus steaks.
