A secluded gay beach and naturist paradise near Nice. Crystal-clear waters and queer vibes make this a must-visit on your gay map!
About
Discover Plage d'Èze-sur-Mer, a breathtaking hidden gem that deserves a permanent spot on your gay map. Situated just a short trip from the vibrant center of Nice, this stunning coastal escape offers a more rugged and intimate experience than the urban promenades. While the main stretch of the beach is known for its chic villas and clear waters, the eastern end serves as a legendary sanctuary for gay men and the LGBTQ+ community. This specific section, often referred to as Saint-Laurent d'Èze, is a premier gay beach and naturist haven. Here, the Mediterranean sun meets a spirit of total freedom, where clothing is optional and the atmosphere is effortlessly welcoming. Nestled between limestone cliffs and the azure sea, it’s the perfect place for queer travelers to unwind, sunbathe au naturel, and connect with like-minded locals. Getting to this paradise is part of the charm; a scenic train ride to Èze-sur-Mer or a bus from Nice followed by a short hike through a pine forest leads you to the rocky shore. As this is a wilder, more secluded spot without commercial services in the queer zone, we recommend bringing your own refreshments. Whether you're looking for a peaceful afternoon of swimming or a social day in the sun, Plage d'Èze-sur-Mer is a must-visit destination on any queer French Riviera itinerary.
