Plages de la Madrague, Nude beach in Anglet, France
Description
Plages de la Madrague is a sand beach in Anglet featuring fine golden sand stretching along the Atlantic coast. The shoreline contains natural rock formations that create small coves suitable for snorkeling and watching marine life.
History
The beach gained attention in the 1960s when local authorities designated specific areas for naturist activities. This decision was part of France's broader coastal development along the Atlantic during that era.
Culture
The beach is a place where visitors of all preferences come to swim and relax together. Different sections are arranged so that various groups can coexist peacefully in the same space.
Practical
Free parking is available near the beach entrance, with local buses stopping within walking distance. The rocky areas can be slippery, so wearing proper footwear is advisable when exploring the coves.
Did you know?
The rock formations found here were shaped by natural erosion over thousands of years and naturally separate the coastline. This creates multiple sections that feel distinct from one another, allowing visitors to find quieter spots to relax.
