Can be very very busy during height of French summer holidays
In a nutshell
The nudist capital of the world..........
Go to see Fort Brescou - the Alcatraz of France
StyleDesign Says: At the harbor/port you can take a boat to Fort Brescou - a prison island just before the coast of Cap d'Agde and sniff some culture! There is a guided tour, but when we were there it was in French only.. luckily I understand some French :) But even if you don't it's worth a...
tashski Says: This is a water park, full of slides, pools, etc, etc. There are numerous water slides/chutes plus a very very large pool which has a wave machine. Unlike other water parks I have visited this one does have adequate chair/recliners around (although there is a small hire...
tashski Says: If you like fun, you can't go on holiday and not visit here. this purpose built entertainment site has something for everyone from a casino to a fairground. The fair opens up around 9 pm each night and closes around 1am. The music pumps out quite loudly, but the location is...
tashski Says: Agde is one of the oldest towns in France, and the shady side streets offer much opportunity to appreciate the old architecture. Just spend a while walking around.
tashski Says: I dont think there's that much to do in Grau D'agde but visit the beach and there are a few resturants along the front. But it is quite pretty and you can catch a ferry/boat from Cap D'Agde to here.
tashski Says: There is an aquarium which is worth visiting.Lots of colourful fish (my daughter loved the puffy ones) and even a shark tank (my teenage son loved that).The gift shop is ridiculously overpriced though!
tashski Says: Although Aqualand has a section for little children, you may prefer to visit Captain Jaks small water park if you have younger child/ren.This is a very shallow pool with a pirate ship and various slides, swings, etc.Great if you have a child 3-5 years of age as the entrance...

La Marine: Don't eat at La Marine
StyleDesign Says: Do not eat in this restaurant on the boulevard of Cap d'Agde, when you order something cheap of the menu when it's busy you will get bad food. We told the waiter that the food was not done, raw & cold; he told us that we should try another night or another time when it was...
Restaurant & Pizza takeaway: Perfect Pichoun's
tashski Says: This restaurant is just off the harbour set in a little square. The place feels so welcoming, and the staff and owners are also extremely friendly. Even though the last time I visited there were 6 of us, (all rather worse for wear) and we must have been a rather rowdier...
tashski Says: As in things to do tip - Ile Aux Loisirs has a casino, nightclub, Luna Park fairground, open nightly during tourist season (luna park closes for season around first week of September). None
tashski Says: The harbour front at night really comes alive with many of the restaurants/bars on the front featuring live artists/bands. Although the drinks are not particularly cheap (bottled lagers/shorts/cocktails being quite expensive) it is worth paying for a couple of drinks and...

Agde is on the same railway line as Beziers and Montpellier; you can view the current timetable at
http://www.ter-sncf.com/Regions/Languedoc_Roussillon/fr/Default.aspx
Look under 'Fiches Horaires' and choose the Marseille - Montpellier - Toulouse route
However the town and station at Agde is about 3 miles from Cap d'Agde. There are local buses and you can find the information at
www.capbus.fr
The regional bus system also serves Agde and Cap Agde
http://www.herault-transport.fr/
The route map shows that bus 274 runs between Agde, Cap d'Agde and Marseillan but this runs only in summer.

All shops in Agde: Boutique Heaven
tashski Says: There are many small shops offering many local crafts located in the small, pretty side streets of Agde - the town next to Cap D'Agde. Even if you don't actually buy anything it is a enjoyable way to spend a day. There are also lots of restaurants located between the small...
shops and markets: Naturist quarter - Le cap d'Agde
astro_kerryn Says: There are four shopping centers in the nudist area, and each features grocery stores, souvenir shops, boutiques selling revealing clothing and beach gear shops. There are several cafes and restaurants in each of the shopping centers, or "centre commercial" spots. Outside of...
tashski Says: The Brescoudos meeting takes place each year, this year was the 18th. It brings together hundreds of chrome plated Harley-Davidsons and Goldwings from all over Europe. Hundreds descend on the harbour area over two days and the event features bike shows at Avant-Port and...
tashski Says: I don't know if this is a local custom or just something my family/friends have created as a 'must do' over the 20 years we have been visiting. There is a little bridge from the mainland to Ile de Pecheur (a small island), from which we jump into the water below on the last...
Cheap diner? Expensive drinks!
StyleDesign Says: In the harbor/Port:Everywhere you see signs with '1 kg. Moules and Frites' for just € 8,00 per person. That sounds cheap (well.. in Cap d'Agde it is..) but first take a look at the chart before you sit down.. in some cases we payed more than € 6,50 for a Coca Cola or a...
astro_kerryn Says: If you do wear clothes to the nightspots of the naturist quarter in cap d'agde, I suggest you don't wear your best cashmere cardy!! There are pole dancers on the bar bench tops and they do squirt the crowd with postmix machine nozzles! Highly amusing, but lemon squash...
Get to the mount st. Loup, there is an entrance-road on the bottom of it (although you can't drive to the top) the view is well worth the 20 minute walk!
Don't forget to bring your camera an pickup some of the beautiful lava-rocks to bring home and decorate your candles or something like that :)
Ofcourse it is entirely free to walk up the mountain.

There are loads of diving shops situated around Le Cap D'agde, and loads of yachts offering diving trips. Unfortunately, even though my friend is a diving fan, when we last visited he was unable to go due to bad weather (well, it was February!) Having spoken to local diving enthuasists, I was informed the scuba diving is not particularly good in this area, but as I havnt ever dived I really can't give an opinion on this.
Equipment: As I don't dive myself, I wouldn't know where to start in recommending any particular place or company to use. Perhaps you could contact the local tourist office for up to date and accurate information, and get recommendations from them. Every time I have spoken to them I have been able to speak English to the person, and they have always been really helpful and friendly. Their website is www.capdagde.com
