Many people have been asking about the costs and the situation with regards to entering the resort as day visitors and as someone staying at the resort.

A common question is if you can enter with a Cap d’Agde day pass and how much it costs?

Below I have tried to answer the most common questions. **Please note though that these are the answers to the best of my knowledge.

For the very latest and exact information, you will need to talk to the front office at the resort entrance. Information can change at short notice**.

Entering the Resort – Your Questions

Below are common questions and the answers given on our partner Yahoo group:

1. I’m staying in one of the hotels inside the resort in July. Is it necessary or advisable for me to get an FFN card prior to my visit, or will I not need one? 

If you are a couple and have booked a place to stay in the village, you won’t need this card.

(2024 Update): In 2023 people who were entering on as day visitors were asked to show FFN (French Federation naturist) Cards. If you are staying inside the resort just show your accommodation booking and you should not need an FFN card.

2. I am staying in the campsite area. Do I need an FFN card? 

In previous years you were expected to have or to pay for FFN membership when checking in at the campsite.

From 2022 FFN membership was no longer required so no, you should not need an FFN card.

3. We are visiting the resort in August and staying in Port Nature? So can you tell me if a gate pass is required for people staying inside the village Naturiste?

Yes, you will need a weekly gate pass which you can get at the office next to the entrance gate.

This pass will give you access to all of the resort and enable you to leave the naturist enclosed area if you need to.

There is though everything you can possibly need inside the resort as it is a small village in its own right with supermarkets, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, post office and so on.

4. We are in Cap D’Agde next week, staying in a hotel just outside the village. We plan to buy a 7-day couples pass but would like to use the beach during the day then go back to our hotel to change and re-enter the village for the nightlife. I understand entry must be before 8 pm. Is this possible or is the pass only valid for one entry per day?

You can get a weekly pass and use it any time, but if you exit the village twice, you have to wait an hour to get back in the 2nd time, that’s all.

The 8 pm restriction is for daily passes, as far as I am aware.

5. What are the vehicle entrance costs?

Note: Below is the last price list we can find but the prices have since been raised.

Car entrance costs Agde
Vehicle entry costs per day and according to the number of passengers

6. I am traveling from Australia and I am a single traveler. Do I need to have a Naturist Association membership card to enter the main naturist beach? I am staying somewhere outside so I have to enter the beach with a day pass. 

First Reply: I would definitely get one if I were you. Better to be safe than sorry.

But you are only meant to need a Naturist Association card if you’re going to stay at the campsite.

Elsewhere in the village, you just need an entry card which you can purchase at the entry gate when you get here.

Second reply: Yesterday I was refused entry as a day visitor with a car!

It is my 4th visit in 8 weeks to the naturist village.

Previous visits were pre-booked accommodation and 6-day visits. My most recent day visit was 2 weeks ago.

I have never encountered any problem as a day visitor before, just show my passport and pay the 18 Euros for entry and car.

Yesterday I was told that I could only be allowed in if I held the French Naturist Card!

I never needed one before and they told me it was a new policy so I asked to buy one only to be told by reception that they do not sell them and that I must get it from the internet.

I told them I would go to Oltra reception to buy one and so they gave me 1 hour’s entrance to visit Oltra.

I queued at Oltra 30 mins and Oltra told me they would only sell me one if I had a Rene Rene Oltra booking!

They also told me that the card gets sent to your home address anyway (I live in London). I went back to the village reception, explained and they were adamant that they could not let me in ( even though I had my passport).

They said sorry they could not offer any solution. So, it seems that day visitors can no longer access the village if they do not have a French Naturally Naturist Card, as a single traveler.
