A quick rant...
 

Went for a walk round the village Saturday early evening, nice weather. Almost all the men were wearing mini skirts as usual. What's that all about? It's a naturist village so why are most people wearing clothes and why do men feel the need to wear something akin to Julian Clary's idea of a kilt? (My wife wonders if it's the clothed people coming in to have a perv at naked people!) Sorry to moan, it's probably something to do with leaving Sunday morning and I'm typing this at home :(

Bit off topic... but are there any other beaches in Europe remotely like Agde in terms of the atmosphere - perhaps in Germany?

In terms of nude atmosphere? Or swinging atmosphere?

There are loads of places with a much better nude atmosphere for sure (Croatia and Spain are best), but its quite unique on the swinging scene.

You will find plenty of nudity in Germany. But if you are hoping to find a beach there, your map might be a few decades too old...

Cap d'Agde
 

There are other naturist resorts in France, for example 'Oasis Village'. We go to Cap d'Agde for 9 summers now and visited Oasis last August for a daytime trip. Compared to Cap d'Agde, Oasis is much more a family resort. You don't find the swinger lifestyle. Nudity is well respected in Oasis but the women there are not so 'exhibitionist' like in Cap d'Agde.
Wo observed 2 main differences walking along the beachside.
- In Cap d'Agde the majority of the women shave their pubic hair, most have completely smooth genitals, so they fully expose their intimate parts. There a even 3 beauty shops offering full pubic waxing for both women and men. During our visit to Oasis we saw a few women completely shaven but most have nearly natural pubic hair or are trimmed short.
- In Oasis intimate piercings the exception, in Cap d'Agde many women wear rings in their breasts or have their labia or clitoris pierces.

I know Germany has little coastline as such, but I wondered if there were lake or river beaches with the same... exhibitionist atmosphere that the poster above captures so well!

In a different style, in the countryside in the ardèche, there is in France the Le Ran du Chabrier.
Any one of you has gone in holiday in this corner at the edge of the cèze

Ran du Chabrier
 

It's a nice place, it is not really a naturist campground, it's more a "free sex" campground.
Wife and I are spending a few days every year sincs 2011.

Hi, we are from Luxembourg near the German border. We don't think Germany has beaches along lakes or rivers with 'the same atmosphere' like Cap d'Agde.
In Cap d'Agde you can find every kind of naturists, on the right side of the beach you have the family beach, parents with their children. At the other end the beach is for more 'open minded people, loving the 'swinging and exhibitionist lifestyle'.
During daytime most people are completely naked inside the resort, but during the last 3 summers more and more women wear a thong or towel for walking from their apartment to the beach.
Last August we observed that 70-80% of the women had no or little pubic hair. Joelle had done a full pubic waxing at the beauty shop 'Ladybel' situated inside the resort near Port Ambone. As she had never shaved completely smooth, at the beginning she asked the esthetician Nicole to leave some hair on the pubic mound. As she had natural pubic hair, Nicole started to trim the hair with electric clippers to nearly stubble and then applied the wax. After +- 30 min Joelle was nearly smooth except for a small patch on the pubic mound. She stand up and checked the result in the mirror, the remaining patch didn't cover her intimate parts and her vulva was fully exposed, she then asked Nicole to wax her completely smooth. Nicole told us that nearly all female clients coming in for a pubic waxing ask to be smooth. She thinks that women spending 1 or 2 weeks in an large naturist resort like Cap d'Agde should also remove their pubic hair to be 'really nude'.
Regards,
Christian and Joelle

fantastic!!!!!

I'm sorry but this is simply not the case. Sadly the people wearing clothes are now in a significant majority. At least 3 in 4 men now wear shorts or those idiotic sarong skirts that have become a plague on the place. Women wear them as well and many others wear different versions of skimpy coverings. Even on the hottest days few are fully naked.

It gets worse every year and this year in particular the wearing of full bikinis is reaching crazy levels. Even on the beach which was one almost 100% nude clothes are worn more and more. The sad reality is that more and more people in Agde are not naturists and have no intention of going nude.
