Best nude beach
I returned 2 weeks ago from a caravanning hol in France. I stayed at a site in Soulac sur Mer in the north of the Medoc near Bordeaux. After being there for a couple of days, I discovered what is definitely the best nude beach I have seen in all of Europe including Spain, France, the Canaries or Balearics. At first, I thought of not telling anyone about this place in case it becomes spoilt. I felt privileged to even walk on the sand there -- it is so CLEAN -- I walked nearly a mile and did not see even a cigarette butt! It is clear that not many people know about this place as all of the people I spoke to were locals or from no further than Bordeaux. Those of you that have visited places like La Jenny or Montalivet or the beaches of the Cote d'Azur etc. have seen nothing to compare to the beach at le Verdon s-Mer which is at the very northern point of the Medoc. It is directly opposite Royan at the mouth of the Gironde with a regular ferry across. The sand is very soft and light golden with a vast beach, but shelter can be found in the dunes behind. Most days, when I went for a stoll, mine were the only footprints to be seen except for those of hares, lizards or birds. I am still in raptures about the place and will definitely return, probably in September.
