The little shack where the cab drops you off at in Orient is a great place for BBQ ribs and sometimes they have live music. It's kinda the dividing line between the nudist resort and the rest of the beach.

Since Orient faces to the east, it can get somewhat choppy if it's windy - it's a bit calmer the further you go into the nudist resort side of the beach because there's a chunk of land that juts out on that side to sort of act as a barrier.

If you do choose to snorkel here, be always alert of jetskis, boats, and windsurfers.

Sounds like a fun beach. I like places where I can go topless, it's always an exciting way to start a vacation
