What's the deal with the chairs with the dark blue umbrellas on the north end of the Club O beach near Pedro's? They appear to be both on Club O property, but run by someone other than Club O?

those are Pedro's umbrellas

The blue umbrellas with chairs between the Club O sign and the rocks are in the clothing optional section and comfortable. They are $20 for 2 chairs, an umbrella & a rum punch from Pedro's. On the other side of the rocks they are not clothing optional, but topless is OK, and the same price.

Like the above comments..... That is Pedro's property and is clothing optional.

Is Pedro's itself still clothing optional? Technically, it's on Club Orient property.

That is a good question. I wondered that myself, but have never encountered even topless in Pedro's in my very short experiences there.

Life's a beach!

We were in Orient Beach last week. We went to Club O daily. The seats at Club O filled quickly, and then the chairs with the blue umbrellas next to Pedro's filled up next. By noon the entire clothing optional portion of the beach was full. Everyone in the Club O chairs were nude, and about half in the Pedro blue umbrella chairs were nude. Every time we passed through Pedro's everyone was fully clothed.
