I like my naturism to be that, naked amongst others naked folk, not watching people getting their rocks off and joint in or wanking off. In the UK we call that Dogging! not naturism. Rant over.

Well, there may be an element of truth in what you say, but fundamentally, Cap D'Agde is still a place to live naked. However, there is no doubt that there is a creeping trend towards a crossbred textile / naturist culture. In Cap we will spend as much time as we can naked, shopping, at the bar and walking to / from the beach but we see many people who do not embrace the opportunity to enjoy the freedom the village offers. At 1664 for our morning coffee earlier this month, we did a count and about half the people were dressed in a way that would not have ben out of place in any cafe in any town, shorts, shirt or sun dress.
Like it or not, the influx of Libertine culture brings money, big money which helps the village survive and evolve. If you avoid walking the length of the couples beach you will avoid the shows and the seedy scenes of many single guys sometimes standing over women and masturbating. But in the village at night, you will not be able to avoid the fashion shows, sometimes involving fetish dress and which can sometimes be 'edgy', for want of a better expression.
For the downside, if your perspective lends you to that view, it would be a great pity to miss the opportunity Cap affords to be free in nature and enjoy the liberal environment that is inclusive, non-judgemental and for us uplifting..
A bientot!
