Beautiful Orient Beach

Just another lovely day at Orient Beach on the "French Side" of the island of St. Martin/Sinte Maarten. The lovely northeast Caribbean island is divided approximately 60/40 between France and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, though the population is fairly equal. Dating to 1648, it is the smallest island inhabited by two different nations. By the way, the "location" listed here is not correct; it's a tiny island and the location here is actually near the village of Orient, not Philipsburg.
