Plage Neptune

A history dating back to the 60s

Neptune Plage is part of that stretch of the Pampelonne bay that became a naturist landmark long before the word was fashionable. In the 60s and 70s, this corner of Ramatuelle already gathered a good number of full body tanning enthusiasts on the Côte d'Azur. The beach is now affiliated with the Fédération Française de Naturisme, which gives the venue a serious framework.

Unlike the sometimes lively image people have of Pampelonne, here the mood stays relaxed. You'll find naturist couples and families who come for a quiet day, sheltered from prying eyes and the wind, more than for the buzz.

Comfort and services on the beach

On the equipment side, Neptune Plage has everything you need for a full day without leaving your sun lounger. A restaurant offers fish specialties and homemade desserts, turning your beach outing into a proper lunch break.

Showers, toilets, parking and wifi round out the offer, making it one of the rare private naturist beaches on the Côte d'Azur with such a complete service. Supervision is also provided on site.

Online reviews regularly praise the quality of the restaurant and the overall upkeep of the site. A few comments raise questions about the economic sustainability of the management, something to keep in mind if you're planning to come back every summer.

Practical info and access

The beach is open from April to the end of September, though summer months remain obviously the best time to fully enjoy the site and its services. It's located in the Pampelonne bay, in the town of Ramatuelle, in the Var.

Naturism is the stated rule here (naturist dress code), which clearly sets Neptune Plage apart from the neighboring textile beaches of Pampelonne. For a first visit with family or as a couple, this is an address that bets on calm and comfort rather than the buzz of the bay.
