Welcome to Saint Martin

Discover the wonderful world of this tiny Caribbean island through the lens of travel photographer and writer Larry Jameson. We hope you learn about our favorite place on earth and join with us in appreciating both the beauty and the people from all around the world.

Sunrise on Orient Beach 

Orient Beach on the French side of the island is one of the most popular beaches in the world and has a definite European flare. That means, of course, it's topless-friendly during its entire 1.5 mile length. It's also known for its southernmost quarter mile being the only official nude beach on the island.

The beach is pure white sand and gentle lapping waves due to a break water about 100 yards off the beach. Snorkeling, parasailing, kite surfing, wind surfing and numerous other water sports are available.

Numerous beach bars and restaurants cater to vacationers and cruise ship excursioners. The beach is filled several times a week from the many cruise ships that dock on the Dutch side of the island at Philipsburg.

Dining at a Lolo 

The sleepy fishing village of Grand Case on the French side is home to four lolos grouped together near the beach.

Diners can watch the sun sink into the ocean while dining on, perhaps, the best ribs on the island.

TTOL Party at Baywatch 

St. Martin Vlog Nov. 28th - Traveltalk Online Party at Orien

Party. And that's what we do in St. Maarten, St. Martin. This time it's the "Travel Talk Online" party out at Baywatch on Orient Beach. No better place to party on the island or in the world. We say hello to some of the party goers that are still coherent and talk to "Travel Talk's" main man, Eric Hill. It was an amazing turnout and everyone was having an absolute ball.

Sand Sculptures 

Amazing Sand Art

Building sand castles is old hat at Orient Beach. Okay, it's a nude beach -- so, wouldn't you expect more creative "sand castles"?

We watched a young lady creative this sculpture in 2006 and, take our word for it, this is work.

Okay, you're on one of the most famous beaches in the world on an 82-degree day in March with a gentle trade wind caressing you. You pause occasionally to sip from a wonderful Guavaberry Colada or other rum-flavored island favorite beverage. So it's really not like office work, or anything like that.
