Regular Visitor Review of Cap D’Agde

Last Updated on November 9, 2023

Deciding Where to Stay at Cap d’Agde Naturist Village

The Cap is whatever you want it to be!

For example, you may choose to stay in the camping site, a rented apartment or villa, or even the Hotel Eve – depending on what you want.

The same choices as you would have in most holiday locations.

The site, while diverse, is not large, so no one accommodation type is too far removed from the beach, the shops, the nightlife.

So wherever you stay, you can walk everywhere you need to.

So, I would suggest that it’s almost immaterial as to where you stay.

It’s only the usual mundane considerations that you need to make when booking – i.e. quiet, level of comfort, size of balcony, upstairs v downstairs, proximity to the beach or some other attraction, aspect, sun in the evening/morning, etc.

Staying in a Rental Apartment

While I have not stayed at the campsite, I have nonetheless walked through it and it certainly has its own ambiance.

The campsite has a much more traditional naturist feel to it and it’s less hectic than the main apartment blocks in the rest of the resort.

If that’s what you desire then it is a good choice.

Instead of the campsite, I tend to go for a third or fourth-floor apartment, Easterly so it is overlooking the beach, or West facing for the evening sun.

I try to make sure also that the apartment I book is away from the immediate commercial center in order to avoid excessive evening noise and music on those nights when one does want a decent sleep!

The rental apartments tend to be a little dated (the 1960s or 1970s), but that’s not really a problem.

The villas, while more expensive, are normally nicely situated in quieter areas and will normally be of more recent construction.

The rest of it, as you suggest, is essentially a small holiday town with a working port and a fabulous beach.

The ambiance overall is undoubtedly French, so speaking a few words of French can certainly help.

You will find though that most service providers there speak English.

The continuing attraction is that one can be without any clothes 24/7 for your entire holiday – and that includes all shopping, eating, strolling, etc.

So do minimize the packing!

Cap d’Agde Facilities and Things to Enjoy

The Cap is a great place for all kinds of sun-related fun so let me a little about each very briefly.

Cap d’Agde Nudist Beach

The beach is a great sunbathing beach.

It is about 2km in length and is great for swimming too (although jellyfish have been observed in the water).

It can sometimes get a little windy, so be prepared for that too.

The beach is not one with a lot of water sports, so this is not really the place is watersports is really important for you.

Not to forget the simple pleasures of a stroll along the beach, around the site, including the harbour (the main harbour in the textile area), or perhaps a game of boules.

Shops and Services

Probably all of your holiday requirements will be met by the range of shops, boutiques, beauty parlors, bars, restaurants, saunas, and services available, although the petrol station was closed last time I was there!

You do not need to leave the resort at all.

Certainly, you can walk around in your birthday suit 24/7, so no real need to pack many clothes!

There are many clubs available for all kinds of night-time fun, so do make a point of visiting at least one.

Many people do dress up in the evenings and the ladies nearly always in something interesting.
