Is it safe in Cap d’Agde Naturist Resort?

Last Updated on November 14, 2023

Thoughts from Joe Burns

Cap d’Agde regular Joe Burns reports:

“I’ve been in the Cap on three occasions as a single male and I must say that I have never seen evidence whatsoever of bad behaviour.

Even in those clubs that I have been in at night, when people might have had a few drinks, behaviour is excellent.

Of course, one takes any normal precautions regarding personal behaviour, valuables, etc. as one might do in any holiday location.

However, for example, I’ve seen many obviously valuable belongings left on the beach while their owners were in for a swim and no one would go near them.

Recently the local regional newspaper, Midi Libre, reported that the Chief of Police for the Agde region said that the naturism village was the safest place under his jurisdiction.”

As Joe Continues

So, per the Agde police chief’s comments (that the naturist resort is one of the safest places in Agde), perhaps it is the common cause of nudity that imbues the place with a sense of tranquility and the definite lack of a sense of others trying to gain an edge, legally or otherwise.

After all, no one can really flash their valuables, clothes, cars etc. by the very nature of the place – thus minimising any feelings of greed or inadequacy for example. We’re all in the same boat once there!”

Our Thoughts

One of the attractions for many people is the fact the resort is enclosed and thus has tended to be so good in terms of safety.

To enter the resort you have to enter the main security gate and there is also another security barrier to enter the campsite.

I have never heard of trouble myself and you also do not tend to have very many cars etc in the resort area thus the resort also tends to be quite safe in terms of being able to walk around.

Update: The World We Live In

In recent years there have been some terror-related incidents in France including in Nice and Paris.

Like anywhere, there is nowhere in the world that is totally safe.

On a daily basis, compared to other resorts worldwide though, you just do not get to see drunken people walking around, or any issues. At least, we never have and any incidents that do happen are minimal.

The one issue perhaps to consider is theft.

If you are staying in one of the apartments that people can easily walk by, DO lock the patio door when out, particularly if you are staying in the Port Nature building.
