St. Martin

Part of this Caribbean island is technically part of France, and its residents seem to have adopted the French laissez-faire attitude to nudity. You’ll see bare sunbathers along the length of its most popular beach, although technically the nude area is limited to the southern end, where the clothing-optional Club Orient resort is located. When you’re done working on your tan, the beach is lined with restaurants, bars, and water sport companies offering paragliding, jet-skiing, and the like.

Conversation starter: If you wander past a certain spot in front of the resort, you might get picked up by Club Orient’s live beach cam. We hope you’re not shy.
