Nude Beach Map. Visited 2023
As I’m sure you can tell, these reviewers did not enjoy their visit to Cap d’Agde. In our opinion, it goes against everything a nude beach should be. Lingerie is a common clothing choice and sexual acts are performed openly on the beach. Bizarrely some restaurants and bars in the naturist village also have ‘dress standards’ in the late afternoon.
This beach is very busy and it’s nearly impossible to find a spot. Most other nude beaches in France have a completely different vibe and we don’t suggest coming to Cap d’Agde as a first timer. The beach area to the right is more laidback, the further you walk up the beach the more sexualized it gets – with most ‘activity’ happening past the lifeguard station. As nude beach regulars we found it very intimidating and more of swingers vibe. Nothing wrong with it, just not our scene and we’d argue this is goes well beyond a nude beach.

We can understand why this is one of the original nude beaches in the world as the natural offerings are breathtaking. The sand is soft and warm. The water is gentle, inviting and the perfect temperature. That’s where the compliments end.
There are food vendors but they are overpriced and not worth the visit. A positive perhaps is that you can dine and drink at the bars and restaurants naked if you’d like. Plenty of accommodation options in the naturist village exist, however we chose not to stay here.
In short: if you like nude beaches for an inclusive, natural, chill vibe. This is not the beach for you. However, if you are after a more pure nudist beach in the area, Le Sérignan Plage is close by and is highly recommended!

NUDE:
There are lots of accommodation options in Cap d'Agde Naturist Village and almost all of them are clothing optional. See all the hotels in the naturist village and decide what suits you best.
Getting There
Cap d'Agde is quite compact and getting around is relatively straightforward. The naturist resort and beach, known as Village Naturiste, is situated at the northern end of town.
If you're staying within Cap d'Agde, it's potentially walkable or cyclable depending on where exactly you're based. Many people find cycling to be a great option as it allows you to avoid traffic and parking issues. Bike rental shops are available throughout the town if you don't have your own.
If you prefer to drive, you'll find that the journey from the town center to Village Naturiste takes approximately 10-15 minutes. The resort is well signposted, so you should have no issues finding your way.
Once you arrive, there's a parking lot at the entrance of the naturist village. Parking costs range from €8-€15 per day depending on the season.
Bear in mind that the parking lot can fill up quickly during peak season, so it's advisable to arrive early in the day if you can.
After parking, there's a short walk to the beach itself. You'll need to pass through a gated entrance, and admission fees apply (around €15-€20 per day). This fee grants you access to the entire naturist village, including the beach, for the day.

My husband and I visited on June 8th, as a bucket list item we suppose. Our family has been to hundreds (?) of nudist locations since the 1950’s, since we were on our way to the Pyrenees we stopped for lunch and some lounging at Le Meridienne. It far exceeded our low expectations, I even ran all the way down the beach to see if there was any objectionable activity, nope. We did depart before 3pm though. We walked through Heliopolis on the way back to the car, the level of disrepair and the kinky shops were awful.
We are familiar with Cap d’Agde, as we live only two hours away and have visited several times. We do not fully agree with the assessment. While it is true that it is very sexualized at night, the beach is 2 km long. The area for couples, as you say, is past the lifeguard station and occupies a stretch of no more than 200 meters. To reach this area, you have to go on purpose. The wider beach area, in front of the town or even the campsite, is completely family-friendly. With plenty of space and well-spaced.
We recommend that people visit and then form an opinion based on their own experience.
Overly sexualised and expensive. I agree.
