Plage Naturiste agde — Attraction in Béziers

This is a highly redacted review, because apparently I can't say in my review what actually happens.

I'd been liking the idea of trying naturism for some time. I'd no input into to our holiday booking, so when I realised Plage Naturiste was just down the beach, I decided to go for it.

The sign is very visible as you approach, not that the sign was needed, the beach was full with naturists. Mostly towards the sea. I sat towards the edge of the group. after settling down, getting used to the situation, I had a look round to see what was going on. There was a lot going on, to say the least!

Thankfully I suppose, I'd really not prepared well for this, it was boiling hot and my pink body was desperate some shade, note to self, take a parasol or something, burnt bits will hurt!

I walked up the beach to seek shade, there is none. Though there are a couple of expensive bars. I walked on. As you get further up the beach I'd say it becomes naturist other than anything else. I walked as far as the pier/wall, then back along the waters edge. As I got to the busy part again, a lady was giving someone a .... ... everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Overall, I'd say it's not a naturist beach really, it's an adult beach. Each to their own, if that's your thing I reckon you'd give it 5 stars.

In my very limited experience, if you just want the feeling of naturism outside, then it's not the place for you, as it's pretty full on and certainly not...

Beware the naturism police. I had a great experience with a nude beach in Miami, so wanted to find a good one in Europe. I heard Agde was the one everybody talked about. So when I was looking for a week away, I thought I'd give the place a go. The weather, more than the nudism was my main reason.

On my second day, I thought I'd go and check out this beach. So I cycled up to it, not realising it was gated. A guard started remonstrating with me. I gathered that you had to pay to get in. So I shrugged and went to the nearby office to pay as I'm not short of money. I thought I might as well buy entry for the week I was there.

I was told I need a naturist card. What? I need a licence to take my clothes off? I was born that way! So my money wasn't good enough.

Apart from the dubious ethics of paying to visit a beach, nowhere is it made plain that you need credentials to be allowed in. I didn't quite fly 1000 miles to attend, but it was a factor in my decision to holiday in Cap D'Agde. I'm disappointed and just wanted to warn other people - particularly if...

If you like nudist beaches, and you are in the area, this is a place for you. There is room for improvement, though: In any serious tourist destination, personell has to speak another language apart from local. English at least. And to speak it properly. Period. 27 Euros daily entrance for two people with a car - borderline ok. But, a big problem - when you enter it is not guaranteed you will find a free parking! We managed (were lucky) to find it on two occassions. Apparently there are parkings inside that can be paid (didn't figure out where/how/how much - sth like 10 euros per day). I don't see this as ok having in mind you pay so much to enter. Lack of garbage bins at the beach. The beach was very clean, though. No showers at the beach and almost no toilets.

All in all, would recommend to come and visit. I just hope they will improve a bit above...
