Ile de Re
There are several nude beaches on this island toward which authorities have a relaxed attitude. Between Le Bois-Plage-en-Re and La Couarde-sur-Mer, there are several small turn offs which led to the unmarked beach known as Petites-Follies. Access the beach at any point and if you encounter clothed bathers continue walking until you reach the nude area. Further west, after La Couarde-sur-Mer, rejoin D735 for 10 kms. then bear right onto D101 for a few kms. until it turns sharply right (east) continue a km. turn left into unmarked road which lead to a parking lot for a beach usually called Conche les Baleines. Walk west (left as you face the water) on the beach past three concrete blockhouses, and you will encounter nude bathers.
