Caribbean Nude Beaches - Check Travel Requirements or Restrictions for each desination
Things can sometimes get a little hot in the Caribbean. And this is not in reference to the spicy food or warm weather. There are a number of ‘Rated R’ beaches located on various islands in the Caribbean tucked away for the vacationer who wants a more daring experience. If you are a person looking to add a little more excitement to your next vacation, maybe you should consider one of the following clothing optional beaches.
St. Martin’s Orient Bay Beach
Orient Bay Beach is located on the south coast of French St. Martin and visitors to the beach have the option of enjoying the beach without clothes. It is also home to numerous beach side properties. However, they are not nude or clothing optional. Orient Bay boasts a white sandy beach that stretches two miles long. The sea bottom is sloped and a reef protects the beach from crashing Atlantic waves.
At the south end of Orient Beach, vacationers can enjoy nude sunbathing. Several beach bars and restaurants are dotted along the beach for a mile or more.

St. Barth’s Saline & Anse du Gouverneur
These beaches are located on the southern end of St. Barth. The beaches are a favorite of travelers from Europe, north America and elsewhere. It is quite normal to sunbathe and bodysurf in the nude on the beaches of Saline and Anse du Gouverneur so you do not have to worry about stares from anyone if you choose to enjoy these activities.
Travelers can expect a quiet beach environment and should bring their own chairs, towels, snacks and other things they may need. These Caribbean nude beaches provide very little shade, contain no snack bars and do not have restrooms.
While the absence of certain features might be a turnoff, this is more than offset by the stunning beaches of Saline and Anse du Gouverneur. The crystal clear water is a sight to behold.
Expert travelers recommend a jeep to explore the island of St. Barth. The island is small so there is not much risk of getting lost while driving. The Eden Rock Hotel in a favorite on the island

Jamaica’s Couples Tower Isle and Couples Sans Souci, both In Ocho Rios
This private hideaway, Couples Tower Isle, is located near Ocho Rios, Jamaica, a favorite of many naturists. Visitors to the small nude island are carried by boat from the resort's dock.....maybe a minute's trip from the shore.
