41.2242° N, 1.7665° EThe gay end
The whole cove. A gay beach since the 1930s, by the town's own account.
Crowd A nude beach the boys have made their own: a gay-majority crowd, a beach bar that knows it, and friends you have not met yet.
Getting there
Walk the seafront west past Terramar and the golf club, then follow the path beside the railway for fifteen minutes. On foot only, so bring water.
The rules
Tolerated. Not designated, but nude bathing has been the custom for years and is left alone. Rules and patrols can change, so read the signs when you arrive.
No photos of anyone, sunscreen everywhere, cover up the moment you leave the nude stretch, and go home with the light. It is a beach: sunbathe, swim, talk, flirt. Anything more belongs somewhere private.
