Guide to Cap D’Agde

No swinger should die without experiencing Cap D’Agde. Tens of thousands of sexual adventurers migrate there from all over Europe every summer for wonderful weeks of sunbathing and sex. There is nowhere like it in the world, by day a naked city focussed on a fantastic beach, by night a constellation of swinging clubs thronged by cosmopolitan libertines.

Cap at night – Port Nature

There are 8 swingers’ clubs in and around Cap D’Agde and two of them are among the very best in the world. In the summer the resort becomes the world’s only nudist city with a population of 40,000, many of them couples seeking sex as well as sunshine. British nudists and swingers have been migrating there since it opened 30 years ago. With recreational sex booming among young people in the UK, more Brits in their 20s and 30s than ever before are fibbing to friends and relatives and sneaking off for a holiday that they truly will never forget.

Anyone who has ever surfed the net for info on Cap knows that there are lots of barren naturist sites and travel agents but nothing that explores its reputation as a swingers’ paradise. Feverparties.com’s Beginners’ Guide to provides a comprehensive 19-page swingers’ guide including 4 pages of maps and plans; specially drawn diagrams showing the layouts of the most amazing swingers clubs; details of what it’s like by day and night, where to stay, where to eat and drink, what to wear, who to book with and how to get there. Everything, in fact, that horny young couples need to know before visiting swinging’s summer capital.

Cap d’Agde – the textiles town

Cap d’Agde is a purpose-built holiday town on the French Mediterranean coast between Sete and Beziers. It was developed from scrub in the 1970s and belongs to Agde, a traditional walled town just a few miles inland. There are over 8 miles of beaches in the area. The resort comprises ten neighbourhoods arrayed around a large man-made harbour with several marinas and is used almost entirely by holiday-makers from France itself.

Agde, Cap D’Agde and the Naturist Quarter

When swingers talk about Cap D’Agde or Cap they mean just one of these neighbourhoods – the Naturist Quarter. Sealed off from the rest and only a tenth the size of the textile (clothes-wearer) area, this Quarter is nevertheless practically a town in itself. It accommodates 40,000 people, has a magnificent 2,000 yard long beach, its own shops, boutiques, banks, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, swimming pools, a marina, a doctors’ surgery and a police station. From now on forget about the textiles’ town, when we say Cap we’re using swinger parlance and talking about the Quartier Naturiste.

There are 6 swinging clubs in the complex and there are two others nearby – including the legendary L’Extasia, widely believed to be the best swingers’ club in the world.

Most English-speakers mispronounce the place as cap dag but if you want to impress the locals, say cap dagd (certainly not the ludicrous cap daaj. The nearby town is agd. Any French you have will help too. Most of the people in Cap are French and German, with smaller numbers of Italians, Spaniards, Scandinavians, Belgians and Dutch. There are very few Brits and the Central Europeans haven’t discovered it yet, so there’s less English heard and spoken than in most holiday resorts – which only adds to the exoticism (and the anonymity)!

Leading international woman’s magazine Marie Claire sent a reporter to stay at Cap in the summer 2003. Her 6 page article gives an insight of what the place is like for first-time visitors.
