Monika Fox Walks The Streets Of Cap d’Agde Naked

Imagine a place where you could not only relax on the beach or swim naked, but could also shop naked, go to the bank naked and even eat out naked. In fact, imagine a place where you could do pretty much anything in the nude.

“Naturism is very nice, walking around naked and this sort of thing, but the sex side of it, where you’ve got the swingers and all the fetish wear in the evening — it adds a bit of excitement to it. I think that’s the fun side of Cap D’Agde, which you don’t get in other naturist resorts.”

Residents cycle naked, shop without clothes on – and, naturally, go to the beach.

At the centre of the free spirited goings-on is the Baie des Cochons, or Bay of Pigs. There, far away from families who simply want to bask in the sun as God made them, things get pretty heavy.

‘Sex on the Beach’ is more than just a popular cocktail in Cap d’Agde.
