It's a great spot, as long as it's not too crowded.

This is a nice little nudist beach with a friendly crowd. There's a big tree and some smaller areas nearby that offer enough shade. You can see into the non-nudist area, including the lake, but it doesn't bother me. The only downside is the water quality - there's quite a bit of blue-green algae, which is probably due to the heat wave.

The beach has a pleasant sandy shoreline and well-maintained lawn. However, there is a lack of shade, making it challenging to find respite from the sun. Additionally, there are convenient changing rooms provided.
