St. Martin

I cannot wait!  My wife and I are going to St. Martin in January for a conference.  We will be there 10 days, not all of that at the conference.  Plus, the conference is only in the mornings.  :)  We love going to St. Martin and try to get there once a year.  The great part is all of the nude beaches.  We have been to Orient Beach a number of times.  We've also been to Cupecoy Beach which is also phenomenal.  We want to try some of the lesser known nude beaches on this trip.  We are renting a car to make that easier.

The best part of the nude beaches?  Well, if you've never been to one, you would never guess.  The people are incredibly friendly.  Kind of caught me off guard the first time I went to a nude beach.  I had never been anywhere nude in public like that.  Up until then, I had just been nude in my private back yard and pool.  What an eye opening experience.  EVERYBODY talks to everybody.  Not like on a "textile" beach where people stake out their territory and keep to themselves.  We made so many friends in just one day.  Wow!  My initial thought while walking onto the beach for the first time was that most would keep to themselves, but I quickly realized that they all had nothing to hide and, therefore, were more open about conversation as well.  I hope you get an opportunity to try it yourself soon.

So, anyway...  Does anyone have any suggestions for where I can go in St. Martin?  I'm mostly talking about nude beaches, but I would love advice on anything.  I have less experience on the French side, so I'm open to suggestions.  Thank you.
