Euronat
Grayan-et-l’Hôpital, Gironde / Médoc
A pine-forest naturist village on the Médoc coast, with camping, rental stays, direct Atlantic beach access and heated pools. Three beach areas offer a choice between the seasonally supervised central and southern strands and a dog-friendly northern stretch.
Nudity policy
Naturist venue
Naturist throughout when weather allows. Nudity is mandatory at pools, beaches, sanitary facilities and the thalasso marine space. Limited tolerance for some sports, teenagers and certain circumstances is stated in the charter; swimwear is prohibited in the mandatory areas.
Facilities
- Parking: Guest parking; see Directions & Parking for arrival conditions.
Heated indoor/outdoor pools. Thalasso has two saunas, hammam and seawater pool; thalasso treatments and marine-space entry require booking and may cost extra. Facilities are seasonal.
Access & visiting
Day visitors register at reception and wear the wristband issued there. Non-residents can buy multi-session naturist swimming-pool passes at reception. Confirm the relevant visitor or facility pass before travelling; a pool pass should not be assumed to include every resort service. Solo visitors need a valid naturist licence or evidence of a previous stay at a naturist centre in France.
Age & supervision
The naturist charter explicitly addresses teenagers. Under-18 guests are included; mandatory nude areas and teen exceptions remain subject to that charter.
Age policy sourceWhen to go
Holiday centre / pool advertised April–October. Thalasso lists 2 April–30 October 2026; confirm next-season dates and facility opening times directly.
Directions & Parking
Getting there
Navigate to Euronat in Grayan-et-l’Hôpital, using the resort arrival pin rather than a generic beach pin. From Bordeaux, the operator recommends ring-road exit 8, then the RD1215 through Lesparre and Vensac, followed by signs for Euronat. From Royan, cross to Le Verdon by ferry and follow the D101 Route des Lacs and Euronat signs. Check in at reception before entering; staying guests receive a badge and day visitors a wristband.
Parking
Camping pitches include a vehicle space or have a nearby car park. Ask reception for the space attached to your pitch or accommodation and the appropriate parking for a day visit; do not assume a facility pass lets you drive to the beach.
Finding the naturist area
The official village map places reception at the eastern entrance and the ocean to the west. For the most direct central-beach approach, use the main internal route past the shopping centre marked “Commerces” and continue to “Plage Centrale”. The same map identifies separate access points for “Plage Nord” and “Plage Sud”; use those mapped paths when heading to another section. The listing pin marks arrival, not the sand.
Where naturism applies
All three Euronat beaches require nudity. This guidance concerns Euronat’s beach frontage, not every beach around Grayan or Montalivet. Use the resort map and current signs for the appropriate entrance.
- The central and southern beaches have seasonal lifeguard cover; the northern beach is not supervised and is the pet-friendly section.
- Solo-visitor admission conditions apply. Confirm day access and the facilities included with your chosen pass before travelling.
- Reception hours and summer public transport vary by season; check the operator’s current arrival page.
Access guidance checked 2026-11-10. Follow current signs and any instructions from the venue or land manager.
