This is a great spot for families, especially the 74 beach on the right side of the kite surfing area, since the water is shallow enough for kids to enjoy.

We visited the naturist section of the beach (on the right) and found it to be quite peaceful and lovely overall. It was also conveniently accessible from the parking area. On our first day, we had a delightful time building sand castles and creating animal shapes, making it a wonderful day.
However, on our second day, we were extremely disgusted and annoyed to witness a couple engaging in very questionable and intimate behavior right next to us, without any attempt to conceal it. We were not impressed at all. They only stopped when a family approached, but due to our limited knowledge of French laws, etiquette, and language, we chose to ignore what we believed was happening and decided to leave. It seemed like they might have been exhibitionists.
My friend and I have been unable to come up with a reasonable explanation as to why a man would need to have his hand between his female friend's buttocks or thighs, especially in a public place that is supposed to be family-friendly. I am completely comfortable with nudity, but this kind of behavior is why I can understand why nudist beaches sometimes have a negative reputation, and it may also explain why we were among the youngest visitors there. 🤢🤢

The beach is quite enjoyable, especially if you head to the east side near the lifeguard station. It's a better spot for swimming since there's less algae and annoying shells compared to the west side. Additionally, you can find convenient amenities like outdoor showers, parking, and charming seaside restaurants in that area. During the summer, you can easily access the beach through bus line 11.

This is a lovely and well-maintained beach that is perfect for families, especially during the high season when it is monitored. However, it's important to note that the sea can be quite dangerous, even if it doesn't appear that way. Recently, there have been reports of French tourists getting caught in undercurrents and struggling to make it back to shore. Unfortunately, there were no warnings or help from locals. As someone who is a strong swimmer, I will be choosing to visit one of the monitored beaches until mid-September for my own peace of mind. Despite this issue, I still think this beach is a great choice during the main season.
