Hello everyone! My wife and I are planning our second visit to sxm in June and although we spent most of our time in the nude section last time around and were comfortable getting drinks at the Perch Lite, we were wondering if it was common for women to be topless at the the beach bars like Kontiki or String in the textile area?

Thank you

It's certainly legal. Last time I was there, I didn't see many topless women in the textile area, but there was one woman who was wearing nothing but a G-string who was at various bars all afternoon. No one gave her any trouble.

I was there two weeks ago and saw a lady topless in one of the boutiques ( Adam et Eve).

When I go to the non nude section, I only wear a mini micro string with no top, or I might wear a short pareo and no top. That whole strip is informal.

At Adam and Eve, I would go naked. That's the one next to Club O Beach, right?

I haven't been naked at Adam and Eve since the crackdown on nudity outside of the Club O area. It's probably easier for a woman to get away with it.

Christa, Residence Adam et Eve is on the right side shortly after entering Orient Village (high wooden gate) and it is a c/o resort. Sexy Fruits is the boutique on Orient Beach, where topless is common but not full nudity.

Yes, that's the one. I meant the boutique On the beach, not the CO residence also called Adam & Eve.

Thank you. I would go naked in those little shops before they rebuilt them and ruined the ambiance. It was a big deal when they were rebuilt with some discussion on this board. Shortly thereafter, Irma came through and destroyed them all.

As I remember, Luis had his bikini shop behind those shops. When going to Luis to get fitted for a bikini, simpler to just walk over naked. That way no need to get undressed and dressed again. I will say, though, I got some second looks from tourists driving and walking in that area (on the service road behind the shops). I guess they never expected to see a naked girl in that area. Those were the good days.

We talked with Luis on the beach in 2018 when we were there on a cruise. His shop was destroyed by Irma so he was selling pareos on the beach. We bought a couple from him before walking down to the Club O section of the beach for the day. We never did see the new shops. We spent a week at Club O in 2015 right before they started tearing the old shops down and that cruise was our next time in St. Martin.

The new shops were destroyed shortly after they were built, probably within a year or so. Luis was selling pareos and swimsuits on the beach there close to Club O Beach. He would "measure" the women at his shop on the beach and do the sewing at his home. His sewing equipment wasn't damaged in the storm. I don't know where Luis has his shop these days.
