Britain wants to make the naked body unrenderable

Construction begins at former Club Orient site

For years, Club Orient existed mostly in memory and in the stories told by the people who loved it. The beach remained, but the resort itself stayed frozen in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. A groundbreaking ceremony changes that. While the new project will look very different from the village that stood there before, construction has finally begun on the next chapter of one of naturism's most iconic destinations.
