Plage naturiste du Monaco, Nude beach in Le Pradet, France.
Plage naturiste du Monaco is a coastal strip extending for about 400 meters with coarse sand along the Mediterranean shoreline. Pine trees line the edge and provide natural shade throughout the beach area.
The northern section officially received naturist beach status in 2016 following community efforts and local support. This designation formalized the area's use by visitors seeking clothing-optional swimming.
The beach serves visitors who practice clothing-optional bathing, a custom that has naturally developed along French Mediterranean shores. People gather here to enjoy this lifestyle in a designated space away from other beach users.
Access comes from a marked path starting at the Bonnettes parking area, which has a fee during summer months. It is best to plan your visit for quieter times, as visitor numbers vary by season and time of day.
From this location, visitors watch boats entering Toulon harbor while the Saint-Mandrier peninsula forms a natural barrier across the bay. This interplay between coastal life and maritime movement creates a distinctive backdrop where the water view is always changing.
