It is a very beautiful sight: Wild cliffs towering into the sky. The beach is rocky by nature &#8211; but also has sandy sections. This creates small, romantic bays from which you can jump directly into the blue water. As soon as it gets dark, it gets really hot between the rocks.<br \/>\nFrom Marseille you can reach the beach by bus 19 or by car.<\/p>\n<h2>Terminus Beach &#8211; Berck<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15804 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Berck_Plage-615x412.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Berck_Plage-615x412.jpg 615w, https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Berck_Plage-215x144.jpg 215w, https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Berck_Plage-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Berck_Plage-1536x1028.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Berck_Plage.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Terminus Beach near the northern French city of Berck is a nudist beach with a large gay area. The municipality of Berck is situated on the English Channel or La Manche, diagonally opposite the British gay mecca of Brighton. The nudist beach is one of only few officially so in the north of France.<br \/>\nThe beach has fine, beige sand and plenty of space. Here you can meet local gays as well as gay tourists. Cruising is also quite a popular activity here.<br \/>\nFrom the town, you can reach the beach on foot by keeping to the right, towards Le Chemin des Anglais.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Plage de Biville &#8211; Biville<\/h2>\n<p>At the Plage de Biville in northern France, there are many nudists, but it is not an official nudist beach. According to some sources, nudity is even forbidden, at least in the dunes. Nevertheless you can see a lot of nude bathers here.<br \/>\nThe natural, spacious beach is really worth a visit. Beautiful dunes and lots of space make this little visited beach a real highlight. South of the car park tis where many gays gather.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Castel Plage &#8211; Nice<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15802 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/960px-Castel_Plage_Nice_Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te_dAzur_France_-_panoramio_-_M.Str\u012b\u0137is-615x461.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/960px-Castel_Plage_Nice_Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te_dAzur_France_-_panoramio_-_M.Str\u012b\u0137is-615x461.jpg 615w, https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/960px-Castel_Plage_Nice_Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te_dAzur_France_-_panoramio_-_M.Str\u012b\u0137is-215x161.jpg 215w, https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/960px-Castel_Plage_Nice_Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te_dAzur_France_-_panoramio_-_M.Str\u012b\u0137is-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/960px-Castel_Plage_Nice_Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te_dAzur_France_-_panoramio_-_M.Str\u012b\u0137is.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the immediate vicinity of the great holiday destination of Nice is Castel Plage, an elegant beach which is very popular with gays. It stretches directly below the famous Promenade des Anglais.<br \/>\nAlthough the public is mixed on the kilometre-long city beach, it is easy to meet other gays. The meeting point for the gay community here is mainly the paid area where you have to pay fees for sunbeds and umbrellas. The positive thing about it is that you don&#8217;t lack anything &#8211; food and drinks are also provided by the restaurant and bar, prices are affordable. The terraces reach directly to the water.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Plage du Liouquet<\/h2>\n<p>Le Liouquet Plage is a nudist beach in the south of France near the port city of La Ciotat, between the cities of Marseille and Toulon.<br \/>\nFrom the car park on the D559 you have to keep left and then walk for about 20 minutes until you reach the nudist area.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a beach with a mixed public, but gays rather stay in the left part of the beach.<br \/>\nThe place is also known as a cruising site, both for gay and heterosexual couples.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Plage de Labeaume<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15856 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Labeaume_plage-615x279.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Labeaume_plage-615x279.jpg 615w, https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Labeaume_plage-215x98.jpg 215w, https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Labeaume_plage-768x348.jpg 768w, https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Labeaume_plage.jpg 1204w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This beach is located in the interior of France, on a tributary of the Ard\u00e8che. The eponymous village of Labeaume is considered one of the most beautiful villages in France and is definitely worth a visit! The gorgeous gorges and wooded cliffs of Labeaume provide an incredible backdrop &#8211; it is also worth a day at the beach, although in recent years the river has dried up more and more during the summer.<br \/>\nDuring the week there are many nudists here, but at weekends families are more likely to be there.<br \/>\nYou have to turn right towards R\u00e9catadou, go down a small path and then keep right &#8211; in the next bend you will find the gay section of the nudist beach.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Plage de l&#8217;Espiguette &#8211; \u00a0Le Grau-du-Roi<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15886 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/960px-LeGrau5-615x461.jpg\" alt=\"Plage de L'espisguette\" width=\"615\" height=\"461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/960px-LeGrau5-615x461.jpg 615w, https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/960px-LeGrau5-215x161.jpg 215w, https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/960px-LeGrau5-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/960px-LeGrau5.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The beach is considered one of the biggest gay meeting places in the south of France. The approximately 18km long and 700m wide sandy beach is divided into different sections, whose boundaries are not always very clear. On some sections there are many families with children. The naturists can be found if you turn left after the last car park, facing the water. Walk for about a quarter of an hour and you are there.<\/p>\n<p>Directly behind the naturist area is where the gays meet &#8211; the two areas like to merge, though.<br \/>\nThe beach with its picturesque dunes, some of which are very high, is a very attractive sight and the quality of the water is also considered excellent. Not only in the dunes, but also in the pine woods behind them, it is very cruisy in the summer. That&#8217;s why queer activists often come to the beach to propagate safe sex.<br \/>\nPlage de l&#8217;Espisguette is easily accessible from both Montpellier (about 40km) and N\u00eemes (about 50km) and is perfect for a day trip. It is worth it!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Both in the north but especially in the south of France there are many beaches with nudist areas where gays are very welcome.
