Piemanson naturist beach in Salin-de-Giraud - France

Our opinion on the Piemanson naturist beach

On the Piémanson Beach (county of Arles), there is an official nudist beach managed by the French Naturist Federation (municipal decree of 23 June 1982). It begins about 1 km from the lifeguard station of Piemanson (on the left, going towards the mouth of the Rhône). The beginning of the area is well marked with blue signs and a small white FFN cabin.
This area (like the textile beach) has long been overrun by caravans in the spring that came to settle there for the summer ... a sort of vast campsite totally free ... Since 2016, by order of the mayor, this beach has once again become a classic beach ... a beach where camping is totally prohibited ... the accesses for vehicles are blocked and the police are there to enforce the new rules! Result, during our visit in June 2016, the beach was completely deserted ... unheard of!

To get to this beach from Arles, follow the direction for Salin de Giraud. After the village, follow the signs to the Piemanson Beach. Park on the left end of free car park (parking allowed only from 6 am to 22h). Less than 10 minutes to reach the naturist area starting on the left.
