Skinny Dip Day participants at Bates Beach were asked to dress after sheriff’s deputies responded to a complaint about nudity.

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.
