The beach at Cap d‟Agde is as good as any beach I have come across in France or Spain thus visiting the resort for the beach alone, is worthwhile.
With a mile plus long sandy and wide beach, this is an excellent location.
Facilities
- Sunbed hire and rentals
- Parasol rental
- Mile-long beach
- Beach bars (such as Paralia Beach Bar)
- Volleyball court on the sand
- In the resort shops, you can buy sun loungers and chairs if you wish. Also daily newspapers including English and German dailies (great for reading on the beach in the sun). Also suntan lotion and creams are available in the resort shops.
Areas of the Beach
You can sit and enjoy any part of the naturist beach. Having said that, there tends to be a general trend in what areas of the beach different groups tend to use.

Walking to and from the beach, people do often wear clothing such as a sarong but you really DO NOT need to and I am not sure why people feel the need to wear anything here at all!
Extra Beach Facts
Couples Beach (Swingers Beach)
The resort is popular with a range of people and that is part of its beauty in that it is a melting pot of interest groups.
Swingers who attend the resort, tend to populate the quarter of the beach to the left of the middle of the beach (as you look seaward).
Mistral Winds
One issue you might need to consider is that it can sometimes get windy.
An extra benefit of a sun lounger means you can turn it on its side to protect you from sand blowing in the
