Book excerpt: Club Orient was an iconic clothing-optional resort located on the beautiful Orient Beach in St. Martin FWI, long considered one of the best beaches in the Caribbean and the most significant nude beach in the Western Hemisphere.The resort opened for guests in 1981, and it was a place where you could shed your clothing, enjoy beautiful water, be invited to a patio cocktail party, and stay for a potluck. Many guests have memories of going for a walk, being invited for a drink by other guests, and returning five hours later. For many, it was the first place that they experienced naturism.Visited by an estimated 20,000 guests over its 36-year history, most who came to Club Orient fell in love with the place and what it represented and some so much so that they bought into the dream by purchasing a studio, a chalet, or a mini-suite. Although no picture or anything written can adequately do justice to fully capture this wonderful place, I hope this book and the many colorful pictures stimulates enough happy memories of vacations-past to put a smile on your face after the depression caused by the tragic destruction of the resort in 2017. If you were not fortuitous enough to visit these idyllic sands and magical waters, possibly this compilation can make you dream of what could have been.
