We’re not just asking you this, it’s a question we’ve been asking many naturists during our travels. The number one answer by far is that there has to be nature. The majority of the naturists we meet prefer greenery over concrete. Which didn’t exactly come as a surprise. Within nature, the choices are much better spread. Some like forests, some like rivers, some like naked hiking opportunities and a lot of you like access to a beach. A nude beach preferably.
During the last years, we’ve visited an abundance of naturist resorts in Europe and several of those do have direct access to a nude beach. Hereby an overview.
We’ll start with an absolute topper. The largest nude beach in Europe is called Linguizzetta beach and can be found on the French island Corsica. And right at this nude beach is naturist resort Bagheera. While France is known for its huge Atlantic nude beaches (more about those later), the Mediterranean ones tend to be much smaller and often very crowded. Well, Linguizzetta beach is the complete opposite of this. It’s a wide, 4-kilometer-long nude beach with several watersports facilities and a handful of beach bars.
Over to the French Atlantic Coast. This part of the country is not only known for its widest nude beaches, but also for its largest naturist resorts. One of the big ones is Euronat, which receives around 10 000 visitors per day during the high season. But don’t worry, the connecting nude beach is so huge that you’ll barely notice that there are so many people.
Right next door to Euronat, you’ll find a very similar resort when it comes to size and beach access. CHM Montalivet is often said to be the birthmat of naturism in Europe because several important organizations were founded here. Today, it’s mostly a huge naturist campsite with lots of facilities and an excellent nude beach.
