Orient Bay Beach: From top tourist attraction to desolate disaster area

By Hilbert Haar

ORIENT BAY – With 95 percent of the island destroyed it comes as no surprise that one of the island’s top touristic attractions Orient Beach on the French side is also obliterated. There is literally nothing left.

All the new stores the Collectivité only recently built near the nudist resort Club Orient at a cost of several millions of euros have been wiped off the face of the earth. The place is deserted. A few purple chairs are standing forlorn on a tiled floor but the store that was once there, is no more. Or maybe it was a small restaurant, or a beach bar.
