This is the island's largest and most popular beach offering over 30 dining establishments along this strech of sand. Orient Beach is known as the "French Riviera" or "St. Tropez" of St. Martin. This picture was taken on Bikini Beach but we spent time at Kontiki, Waikiki, Kaiko beaches as well. I did not visit Club Orient (the naturist beach on the south end) but the pictures on the web site catch the vibes of that stretch well.
