Why indeed almost all the people in the ocean there are nude there
still are a few swimmers with swimsuits on.
I thought this was supposed to be a TOTALLY nude environment.

I meant to type While Indeed most all the people there were nude still
there were a few in swimming suits.
Thought nudity was a requirement at the beaches of Cap d'Agde?

In December? You must be joking!
My impression is that this 'last bathe of the year' is a special event.
Whoever organizes it *could* hold it in the non-naturist part of Cap
d'Agde, which would mean that everyone had to wear swimming costumes.
It's actually rather nice that they choose to hold it in the naturist
quarter, which means that it can be clothing-optional.

Cap d'Agde has a naturist quarter, and the other 3/4 is textile.
Nudity IS a requirement in the Cap d'Agde naturist village and people
get busted. Here are some videos of COPS! Cap d'Agde! The title of
these videos in English would be:

Cap d'Agde's Naturist Quarter
A Guide to Visiting Cap d'Agde's Naturist Village
Cap d'Agde's "village naturiste" is an ideal vacation destination for
nudists. It features all the basic amenities of any beach town, all
within the confines of the village. The village does have its own
rules, however, so use this guide to help plan and prepare for your
visit.
Arriving in the Naturist Village
You can get to Cap d'Agde by flying into Montpellier (or any major
French city, but Montpellier is by far the closest), or there are
connections through Paris to Beziers-Agde-Vias Airport, just a few
miles away. If you fly into Montpellier, you will need a cab to the
train to Agde train station. There is a bus line that runs to the
naturist quarter. There are also taxis, and the cost is about 12-15
euros for a ride to the nudist village. If you fly into Agde's
airport, you can also take a taxi. Either way, you may want to highly
consider renting a car, however (see my comments under Transportation
below).
The village is guarded, so you must enter through the gate. There is a
building at the entrance where you can purchase a card that allows you
to reenter the nudist quarter as you please, which costs 9 euros. They
only accept a credit card for a purchase 10 euros and up, so have
cash. The attendants at the information office can be frustratingly
unhelpful. If you will be staying in a hotel or vacation rental inside
the quarter, ask for a card ahead of time or instructions on getting
clearance to enter without buying the card.
The Rules
Once you are in, you will have certain rules to follow. They include:
* Access to the quarter is reserved for naturists or those working
there.
* Total nudity is obligatory within the quarter and on the beach,
when climatic conditions permit. (I have, however, seen many people
dressed there on a warm day. Also, most people dress for dinner. That
is the etiquette standard for evening dining in the quarter.)
* Photo shots and filming are strictly limited to members of the
family.
* There are also several laws banning any sort of lewd, crude or
pornographic behavior in the nudist quarter.
Transportation
Unless you plan to spend your entire trip inside the nudist quarter, I
recommend renting a car. Agde is rather spread out, and the nudist
quarter is not walking distance to anything. There is a bus line, but
its schedule is rather limited and it is inconvenient. Even if you
just rent a car for a couple of days during your visit, it will be
worth it for the ease of visiting downtown Agde, or nearby cities like
Sete or Beziers.
Dining & Shopping
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.
Nightlife
The nightlife in the nudist quarter isn't always for the faint of
heart. While there are typical bars and lounges, there are some with
signs pronouncing they are for "couples only." If this is not your cup
of tea, you can certainly avoid these spots and your only contact will
be reading the signs out front. They are very discreet.
* Ernest Hemingway Cafe in the Port Ambonne shopping center is
quite mellow and offers drinks typically found in the States like
Bloody Marys.
* Tantra Club, located at Port Nature, is a discotheque open from
9 p.m. until dawn. Its slogan is "Sexy Vibration."
* Le 2x2, in Port Ambonne, is a couples-only club features a
sauna, jacuzzi and bar. Its open daily from 2 p.m. to 1 a.m.

But doesn't that prove that while the simple experience of just being
nude isn't lewd, nude in and of itself isn't lewd, nudity tends to
attract lewdness.

They get busted for having clothes on?
I must admit this would be an interesting place to visit if it wasn't
for the lewdness found there.

But then you say that there's a lewd nightlight scene. So which is it?
Anna
I mean nude nightlife scene.
