La Raitre
This is the southernmost of the three nude beachs in the St-Nazaire area. From the parking area there is a pathway above the rocky coastline. Follow this several hundred meters east (left as you face the water) to the sandy cove which nude sunbathers use. There are additional coves which more difficult to access west of this which gay also use. Nudity is freely tolerated on this rugged stretch of coastline, which does not seem to have an agreed-upon name, but is usually referred to as La Raitre or Port-aux-Goths. This beach attracts a good number of nudists and can sometime be crowded as space is limited.
Crowd: Straight couples and gay men.
