Nearly three million French people practice naturism regularly or occasionally. If you also enjoy swimming in the nude, we have listed for you the beaches where it is possible to sunbathe and swim nude in the Landes!
Arnaoutchot Beach (Vielle-Saint-Girons)
In Vielle-Saint-Girons, you'll find one of the most beautiful naturist beaches in the South-West. Head to Arnaoutchot beach. Located on the right side of Lette Blanche beach, this long stretch of fine sand offers a wild and preserved environment. The atmosphere is very respectful, and naturists have about 1,000 meters of authorized beach.
Chênes Lièges Beach (Moliets-et-Maa)
To enjoy swimming in the nude in Moliets-et-Maa, head to Chênes Lièges beach. You'll need to walk nearly a kilometer (10 minutes) from the resort, following the Moliets golf course, then cross the dune. Away from the crowds, cohabitation with "textiles" is not an issue.
Sablères Beach (Vieux-Boucau-les-Bains)
Located away from the town center (about 500 m) and bordered by dunes, Sablères beach is the wildest in Vieux-Boucau. This spot, well-known to surfers, also attracts full-body tanning enthusiasts. It's in the northernmost part of the beach, near the place called La Palombière, where you can enjoy the beach in complete nudity.
Lespecier and Remember Beaches (Mimizan)
In Mimizan, naturism enthusiasts gather at Lespecier beach in Mimizan. Located west of the village of Bias and south of Mimizan-Plage, this beautiful Landes beach offers naturists much more than just a small strip of sand. The authorized area is located 500 meters on either side of the lifeguard station.
Also in Mimizan, naturism fans can also shed their swimsuits on Remember beach, especially in the northern part, outside supervised areas, where the practice is tolerated.
Cap de l'Homy Beach (Lit-et-Mixe)
Cap de l'Homy beach is one of the wildest and most preserved beaches on the Landes coast. It stretches for almost 10 km. Nudism is tolerated outside the immediate beach access area. Perfect for a Robinson Crusoe-like experience and enjoying the ocean in your birthday suit!
Casernes Beach (Seignosse)
To swim without a swimsuit in Seignosse, head to Casernes beach. It's the wildest beach in the resort. The naturist area is located 400 meters north of the lifeguard station, on your right. Please note, swimming is prohibited in this area (or at swimmers' own risk).
Culs-Nus Beach (Hossegor)
This beach is aptly named! This immense naturist beach in Hossegor is located north of the resort, between Gravière beach and Estagnots beach. Many "textiles" visit the beach, but cohabitation with swimsuit-clad bathers poses no problem.
