Top Nudist Beaches in Gironde: The Ultimate Guide Between Ocean and Pine Forests

With its miles of wild fine sand, waves sculpted by the Atlantic, and historic estates, the Gironde department is a must-visit destination to experience living naked under the sun. From the North of Medoc down to the Arcachon Bay, discover the three legendary spots on the Gironde coastline where freedom reigns supreme.

1. CHM Montalivet: The Historic Birthplace of Naturism

It is impossible to talk about the Gironde without starting with Montalivet. This is where, back in 1950, the very first family naturist resort in the world was born. Today, the CHM beach remains an absolute symbol of conviviality and body respect.

• The Setting: A huge fine sand beach backed by a centuries-old pine forest. The space is so vast that you feel completely free, even in the heart of summer.

• The Atmosphere: Ultra-family-friendly, warm, and multicultural. It is a true village where generations mingle on the sand.

• Access: Directly through the Montalivet héliomarin center (regulated/restricted access, or via tolerated public access points nearby).

2. La Jenny: The Naturist Oasis and Its Unique Golf Course

Located just a stone's throw from Le Porge, the residential estate of La Jenny is an exceptional place, unique in Europe—mostly thanks to its famous golf course where you can play completely naked, in total harmony with nature.

• The Beach: Accessible via lovely paths through the dunes, La Jenny beach offers a feeling of absolute isolation and tranquility facing the rolling ocean waves.
• The Atmosphere: Sporty, elegant, and wellness-focused. It is the perfect spot to disconnect from daily stress and recharge your batteries to the sound of the waves.

3. La Lagune Beach: Freedom at the Foot of the Dune of Pilat

Located in La Teste-de-Buch, just south of the famous Dune of Pilat and facing the Arguin Bank, La Lagune beach is home to one of the wildest and most magical naturist areas in the Arcachon Bay.

• The Landscape: A breathtaking panorama. The contrast between the deep blue of the ocean, the white sand, and the view of the Cap Ferret point is striking.
• The Atmosphere: Wild, respectful, and very "nature"-focused. It is the perfect spot for a day of total disconnection after a walk under the pine trees.
• Access: Via the parking lot of La Lagune beach, then walking south to reach the reserved and marked area.
