Plage naturiste des Pissarelles

Plage naturiste des Pissarelles is a shingle beach located beneath steep cliffs in the Saint-Laurent bay along the Mediterranean. Large rocks scattered across the shore create natural sections within the beach, forming distinct areas for visitors.

The beach takes its name from the Pissarelles cliffs that have shaped Cap-d'Ail's landscape since the formation of the French Riviera. The naturist use of this location developed during the 20th century as part of a broader movement in Mediterranean beach culture.

This naturist beach reflects French attitudes toward clothing-optional spaces and embodies a long-standing tradition of body acceptance along the Mediterranean coast. Visitors notice that the place encourages a relaxed and respectful interaction among those who come here.

Access is through the Pissarelles domain on Avenue du Trois-Septembre, where visitors follow a path leading to stairs descending to the shore. The path is unpaved and can become slippery during rain, so suitable footwear is recommended.

This location is actually a rare combination of sheltered cove and open coastline, which protects the beach from strong wave action. This geographical feature makes it relatively accessible even in rough weather, unlike many other beaches in the area.
