Plage de la Lède, Atlantic beach in Les Mathes, Charente-Maritime, France.

Plage de la Lède is one of the four beaches of La Palmyre, in Les Mathes, Charente-Maritime. It forms a sector of the Grande-Côte beach, backed by a dune belt and the Combots d'Ansoine pine forest, and looks onto the Gironde estuary. Its sand is blond throughout, and the naturist zone lies between markers 12 and 15.

In 1980, this beach received official naturist designation through a municipal decree that reserved specific zones between boundaries 12 and 15 for this purpose. This early regulation made the site a pioneer in France for the organized coexistence of different beach cultures.

Naturism has been permitted here by municipal decree since 1980, renewed each year, between beach markers 12 and 15; the rule applies to the sand only, not the dunes or the neighbouring Combots d'Ansoine pine wood. The section is described as family-oriented and is also much visited by the gay community.

Access is by the D25 road, by the Ronce-les-Bains to Saint-Palais-sur-Mer greenway for cyclists, or in high season by Cara'Bus line 31. Naturism is allowed only between markers 12 and 15, by municipal decree, and applies to the sand alone, not the dunes or the pine wood behind. Swimming is livelier here than at neighbouring Le Clapet because the south-west exposure lets more swell through.

In winter, the beach is one of the main land-sailing spots of the Royan area, alongside the conche de Saint-Georges-de-Didonne. The sport suits the wide blond sand and the south-west exposure, which is gentler than on the Côte sauvage. The naturist zone between markers 12 and 15 is set by municipal decree, renewed each year since 1980.
