First time to St. Maarten and found a gem at Waikiki Beach Bar at Orient Beach. This bar is on the French side and is clothing optional so you may see some women with a one piece bathing suit. The Waikiki Beach bar rents chairs/umbrellas and serves food/drinks. We started with a bloody Mary which they served in actual glasses which was surprising since we were on the beach. Not much of a beer selection here in St. Maarten so after the bloody we switched to Presidente which comes out of the Dominican Republic. This review is more of a location/beach review than a beer review. No Untapp’d checkins here and probably won’t have many on this vacation but want to share some of the pubs we are visiting this trip. Orient beach is a great stretch of sand with lots of bars, parasailing, PWC rentals and beautiful turquoise waters.  Not a snorkeling beach but great swimming and people watching.  Definitely a beach you must visit if you are in St. Maarten.  Even the cruise ships bus people to this location but don’t let that scare you away.  Check out their website for more info.  http://www.waikikibeachsxm.com/
