Plage naturiste du centre de vacances d'Arnaoutchot

Arnaoutchot naturist beach is a clothing-optional beach on the Atlantic coast with fine sand and natural dunes backed by pine forest. The shoreline extends roughly one kilometer, offering a peaceful seaside setting surrounded by trees.

The beach was founded in the 1970s as the first supervised naturist beach in the Côte Landes Nature region. This pioneering role made it an important destination for clothing-optional tourism along the French Atlantic coast.

The beach draws visitors who practice a clothing-optional lifestyle in a natural seaside setting. The community here values openness and respect, gathering in a place where personal freedom meets the coast.

Lifeguards are present from mid-June through September, and facilities include showers, toilets, and a first aid station. It is best to arrive early or visit on less busy days to find a quiet spot.

From this beach, visitors can try water sports like surfing, bodyboarding, and stand-up paddleboarding directly from the shore. The blend of clothing-optional access and water sports opportunities makes this an unusual gathering place for different interests.
