Montalivet Naturist Beach

The beach is absolutely vast—CHM Montalivet is HUGE! It’s clear that most of the visitors are from the resort. Even though we don’t have access to the resort facilities, we discover we can still enjoy the beach bar, which is a nice perk. In the morning, the beach is quiet and serene. We set up our towels and take in the beautiful surroundings—the expansive sandy beach, the sound of the waves, and the fresh ocean breeze.

As the day progresses, more people start to arrive. The crowd is mostly Scandinavian and young French families. We notice how comfortable and natural everyone seems, which helps us relax even more. Despite the increasing number of visitors, the atmosphere remains friendly and laid-back. We feel completely at ease as a couple among the families and other beachgoers.

We take a dip in the ocean—the water is a bit chilly, but it’s refreshing once we’re in. We spend the afternoon lounging, reading, and even strike up a conversation with a friendly couple from Denmark. It’s interesting to hear about their experiences and what brings them to this particular nude beach in Europe.

When we get hungry, we head over to the beach bar. It’s convenient to have this option since we can’t access the resort’s restaurants. The food is simple but tasty, and it’s nice to sit and enjoy a meal with an ocean view.

By late afternoon, the beach is quite lively. Even though it’s busier, it doesn’t feel overcrowded because of the sheer size of the beach. We watch as kids play by the water’s edge and surfers catch waves in the distance. The sense of community here is palpable, and we appreciate how everyone respects the naturist etiquette.

As the sun starts to set, we pack up our things and begin the walk back to our car. Reflecting on the day, we’re glad we made the trip. The initial surprise of being asked to undress by the lifeguards turned into an experience that helped us fully embrace the naturist spirit of the place. Montalivet Naturist Beach offers a unique and genuine family naturist experience that we haven’t found elsewhere.

If you’re considering a visit and are open to fully immersing yourself in naturism, we’d highly recommend it. Just be prepared for the mandatory nudity policy, and know that you’ll be among a friendly crowd of families and couples. It’s definitely a standout spot on our tour of nude beaches in French, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return again – hopefully staying at CHM Montalivet next time.
