Gay Cruising in Cap d'Agde - Part 1- The Beach

The first entry in a series.
There's plenty of gay cruising in Cap. Yes, it's mainly "straight swingers's town", but there's always plenty for us gay men, too. As I mentioned, I've been there twice so far, and I could regularly fool around at least 5 times (with of course different men OR groups of men, that is ;-)] a day if I wanted to.

PLEASE ALWAYS REMEMBER: a) I don't advocate for illegal behaviour. Hook up, then take your friend(s) to your tent/room, etc. Or at least do be aware of your surroundings, and don't do anything foolish b) Always play it safe! I always have condoms and lube with me, and you should do the same. I love life. The longer I'll live, the more sex I'll get, don't you agree ;-)?

THE GAY AREA ON THE BEACH: You'll find it about 1/1.3 km to the left of Cap d'Agde's Seaport/Heliopolis. Continue walking left on the beach until you reach the end of the Rene` Oltra campsite, marked by a beach bar (La Buvette de Massilian). Continue walking and you'll notice the beach Police station. To the left of that area (as you continue walking down the beach to the left, that is) you will find the swingers' area. Then you'll notice a path through the bushes to your right hand side, going into the dunes. That marks the beginning of the gay area, and that path leads to the gay (and sometimes swingers', too) "play area".

IMPORTANT: The dunes are a protected area. You may be fined if found there.
Also, two years ago in August the Police were cracking down on beach sex/dune sex. Or at least they tried to ;-). However, last summer (2007) they seemed to keep a watchful eye, and yet didn't seem to bother the swingers nor the gay guys. I heard that Cap d'Agde's administration made it very clear that they were loosing business because of their repressive behaviour. They need to keep Cap a free place and space if they want their business to succeed. I hear that in June the Police don't patrol the beach or the dunes. I haven't been there in June yet, so I cannot confirm.
Anyways, this is a different matter altogether from THE NEED TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT. Do play, feel free, swing around, be whatever you want to be, play safe and have fun, BUT DO protect the environment in the Cap d'Agde area! Don't mess with the dunes. Don't litter. Pick up your trash (that includes condoms and kleenex!).
As far as I am concerned, I would try to stay away from the dunes. I would only venture into the cane woods right next to the campground. Once you get into the clearing, you will find paths. Go straight for about 100 mt., then take the small path that leads into the canewood. You can hook up there if you wish. Of course there are other bushes/clearings in that same area. However, once again, don't venture too far into the dunes, and always be safe and aware!
Do be aware of what is legal and what not.

In case you're wondering, I never felt unsafe at Cap. I was there on the beach at night, too. There were some clear, full moon nights when the temperature was warm, and the place was packed! I met a nice older British guy who, ahem, seemed very happy to meet me (he shot one of the biggest loads I've ever seen ;-). Another good reason why I've always been attracted to married guys. When they go for cock, they really want it!).

In case you're wondering (2), I've played around on the beach. I met this nice Italian couple, mid-50's. The guy's bi and the wife doesn't mind. Actually, she enjoyes watching. He is very nice looking. We started chatting and one thing lead to another. We sucked each other off right there on the beach.
I'm planning on doing much more of that this summer ;-).

hi
i find ur account very interesting. i have been there long ago, before the dunes was designated a reserve area, and it was great.
now u mentioned that sometimes they enforce the rules and other times they dont, and sometimes they restrict enforcement to aug, july, and leave june and sept alone. The uncertainty coupled with the fact it is now unlawful to be seen in the dunes means not many go in there anymore.
the last time i ws there 2006, oct we were just inside the dunes, sheltering fr the wind, and a mounted police man just came up to us, and without saying anything ,even though my friend talked to him in french, motioned to us to get back to the beach.
this ws in october. #
with all this harrassment, i think a lot of people simply stay clear of the dunes.
it might be the camp area is better for meeting people, as u have said, esp the showers.
in the town, there are not a lot of places to meet people, excpt in the bars, and u have to buy drinks when u go there. u know french that helps i think.
i like wondering around the Nature area. the views are not only great, but it is possible to peek into the studios and see how people live.and people dont seem to mind, in fact they seldom draw the curtains, and would come out and chitchat. once we were so fascinated by the mirror windows of a studio, we were preening ourselves looking at our reflection,and taking photos, and forgot people inside can see us, and the owner came out and chatted with us,and we made a friend that way.
he owned a two bedroom flat in vera playa,near murcia,spain; so we were able to book it from him and spent 2weeks there in sept the next year. it ws unfortunate that he ws selling his studio in capdagde. it had a nice roof terrace.
i will be interested in any more thoughts u have about gay cruising in capdagde, so please keep posting. and i shall look frwrd to ur account of ur stay there in june, and in july.
