First timer trip report Cap d'Agde - Holidays in France (Part 2)
Cap d'Agde trip report by Wiltshire, UK
Port Ambonne is all shops, supermarkets and bars on the ground floor. But it doesn't really matter, they are all about one minute walk from each other, so all you really need to think about is how much atmosphere (noise) you want drifting in during the evening. Some people like leaning on their balcony soaking it all in...some don't.
Food at CdA is surprisingly okay, and not stupidly expensive, was expecting a nightmare that didn't eventuate. We found 3-4 good places where the food was between 10 and 20 Euro per dish. Won't 
name them, its not hard to find them, this place is not that big. If you want extra-cheap, the bread shops have quiche and croissant that are as good as anywhere. A bottle of wine in the supermarket can be as cheap as a bottle of beer. So you can sit on the beach and have a cheap feed. We bought a hot roast chicken off the spit, take away, cost 9 Euro.
The beach is genuinely naturist in style, male and female. Some may have been partly dressed as they walked to find a spot, but no one stayed dressed once seated. The beach is pretty good. Wide with soft sand at the back and a bit of wind protection, but the sand by the water is hard and good for walking...and it's like a freeway along there.
The shops at Heliopolis sell beach umbrellas and towels if you need, relatively cheap. BTW, the 'libertine' set may be here, but I didn't look for it and it didn't find me. Seems you can do or not do what you want without fuss...at least it appeared so to us. Overall it's a good place!
