Pedros on Orient Beach

[fcatlanta]

We will be cruising to St. Martin the middle of January; just wondering if anyone has any pictures or information about the beach condition at Pedro's and further south at Club Orient.

We spent Xmas day @ Orange Fever, no problems there. There was a little seaweed washing around in the water, but not much. Their building was fine, food was good. For $7/pp you each get a lounge with a thicker cushion, a drink ticket (beer, wine, mixed drink) and an umbrella.

They did have a lot of damage from the hurricane, but are fully operational now.

Cab from pier was $7/pp and we got dropped right at Orange Fever. ship docked @ 9;00 and we were @ OF by 9;30. At about 3:30 a driver was on the beach waving a sign looking for fares back to the pier, again 7/pp.

Great location, good facility (with bathroom) and good food.

I walked past Pedro's 2 weeks after the storm and their beach was gone. I would go to the mid section of Orient where all of the beach bars were up and running.

Go to Le String, Kon Tiki Or Kako in the mid beach area.

Runner15km said Pedros beach front is gone and he/she plus others are saying to go to the mid point of Orient.

Club Orient is private and neeked so give them a call.

I have not seen any pictures of the beach but I did send club orient an email and the response I got back was "The beach looks great and the weather is beautiful!"

My Gosh,

 

You're all across the Intertubes with this question.

 

Recent reports from Orient indicate that most of the beach is fine, if a bit reduced, and most of the seaweed problem has abated.

 

Check out the live webcam from Club Orient.

Do not look on YouTube. The videos are out of date and are about 2 months old. Conditions are not the same as what is portrayed in the video.

I'd love for what you're saying to be true, but from the videos, it looks like the entire beach washed away and water is at the steps of the beach shacks.....I've been tomOrient on over 10 cruises, so pleeeeeease tell me the videos are out of date and the beach is the same!

I don't have a clue which videos you've seen, but I suspect they are (far) out of date.

 

I've posted that reports are thet the beach is back, if thinner in many places, but almost all of the Beach Bars are back up and fully operational for a while now.

 

Check the Club Orient Webcam to see the CURRENT status of the beach from the Perch towards Pedro's.

We were there last wed. Minimal seaweed! We got chairs and pizza and $2 beer at Orange fever. The water came very close to the chairs. The beach was "deeper" mid-beach around Kakao (spelling?!?)

Any of those bars on the nude end?

[Jey01]

No, Pedro's and orange fever are beside the rocks that seperate the nude section from the swimsuit section

We were on Orient Beach late January-as far as the nude section-from Pedro's to Club Orient, the beach was beautiful: no seaweed, fair amount of beach.
