Watching this thread with interest. We didn't know about St. Martin back in the day. We discovered it in 2003. Before booking our trip, we did our research. For all of the people who are offended by the sight of nudity, there are other Caribbean destinations to go to. Part of the island's allure is that on certain beaches people can enjoy being naked. TAs far as what group of people are offended, there are 38 beaches. How does sunning or swimming naked harm anyone?
Think about this, Captain Phillip is losing his living because of an unfair law. To say "it is what it is", is a polite way of saying "tough s***! Deal with it!"
Secondly, history is filled with injustices towards others. Just cause it's the law, doesn't mean it's right. The folks who frequent and run Tiko-Tiko have ever right to challenge this law. The government is foolish. Running someone out of business who generates taxed income for the island. If the day ever comes that I no longer am allowed to enjoy the beach naked then neither is my money.
