Torreilles naturist beach
Torreilles naturist beach is a nice sand beach, in the middle of nature, in the south of the seaside resort with the same name.
It is an official naturist beach that is very well signposted. As soon as you enter in Torreilles, signboards will lead you step by step to the naturist beach.
The big parking is for free, which does not spoil anything.
Only damper is that once you are on the beach, there are no signboards to prevent and to limit the part reserved to naturism. This is a pity, because the textiles who arrive by the beach might be a bit surprised. It would be good to add these boards, like it is generally the case on the official naturist beaches.
On our visit, the 6th of August 2019, there were about hundred naturists, in majority couples around their fifties, there were also some singles and some families.
The water is very clear and it gets deep quite quickly (at 5 m from the borderline).
Note that Torreilles naturist beach is the last official naturist beach of the French Mediterranean coast before Spain.

How to reach Torreilles naturist beach ?

1 Drive to the big roundabout on the D 81, at the west of Torreilles-Plage, between the streams L'Agly and Le Bourdigoul.
2 Leave the roundabout by following the sign "Torreilles-Plage".

3 Just after the sign indicating the beginning of the town of Torreilles, take directly to the right, by following the small white signboard "Plage naturiste" (naturist beach).
4 Pass in front of the counter "A la bonne poutine", then in front of the restaurant "Le jardin", the mini-golf, the chip stand...

5 Drive straight ahead about 700 m, then turn to the left at the signs "Plage Sud", "Plage naturiste"...
6 Drive straight ahead about 1,3 km to reach the big parking of Torreilles naturist beach (ignore the dead end at 800 on your right and the parking, that seems unused, on the flood zone at 900 m on your left).

7 Park on the parking.
8 Don't leave the parking by the path completely at the left that leads to the textile beach restaurants : Maya on the left and Zaza on the right.

Take, or the path on the left, with the special floor and preceded by a board that shows the limits of the naturist beach (photo)). It brings you to the beginning of the naturist zone. Notice, just before the sand, the blue sign to the right with the inscription "Naturiste".
Or the path on the right of the parking, without a special floor, preceded by the same board and that leads to the middle of the naturist zone.

9 Make yourself comfortable on the beach.
Beware, curiously, there is no sign directly on the beach indicating the presence and the limits of the naturist area. The more you go to the right, the calmer, but attention, because the beach turns textile at the end on your right just before the stream Le Bourgidoul... or even earlier, given that there are no boards on the beach...
