The naturist beach
Nudist beach in Cap d'Agde at night, with the town of Sete in the background.
The naturist beach (where nudity is technically mandatory) has a length of about 2 km and is about 30 metres wide. Sand and water are of good quality and between 16 to 22 °C (61 to 73 °F). Two security posts feature police and medical facilities. Lifeguards are on duty at several stations, during most of the day. Six restaurants border the southern end of the nude beach. Only one restaurant is available towards the northern end. Even though Cap d'Agde is in France, most of the service staff speak English.
Heliopolis
Heliopolis is the biggest and most prominent feature of Village Naturiste and is a 4-storey round apartment complex with a diameter of around 250 metres (820 ft) located at the beach. Heliopolis has a shopping area with a supermarket at the ground floor. It has approximately 800 apartment units for 2, 4, and 6 people. Built to Le Corbusier principles, the arc-shaped buildings contained an open centre with a swimming pool, tennis courts, and play areas.
In 2005, the local authority, the Mairie d'Agde, granted planning permission for the construction of a large libertine complex in the centre of Heliopolis which resulted in the destruction of the swimming pool and the open space.
Marina
The marina has about 60 places for boats up to 17 metres (56 ft) and a little boat yard
