Cape Agde boasts of being “one of the resorts of its kind in the world to sunbathe in nature” and the population can reach “50,000 at a time”.
“We all know why we’re here,” an anonymous swinger told the BBC.
“There are many other more classic and familiar naturist camps in other parts of the coast without sex clubs.”
The recent increase in coronavirus cases began last August and dates back to two workers at the oz’Inn luxury hotel.
Its owner stated that an X rating had been carried out on the hotel’s rooftop terrace without measures of social estating.
A naked couple in their 60s told the BBC that because of their age they were “more cautious” about “the number of other people we’re in close contact with.”

A spokesman for Herat Prefecture described the outbreak as an “alarming situation.”
“We also ask everyone else who wants to come to this naturist village to postpone their arrival,” he said.

Bars, restaurants and nightclubs are among the closed businesses as a result.
Regional fitness officials suggested that the village adopt “strict compliance with preventive measures and barriers.”
Frédéric Puech, president of the Cap d’Agde club hotel, said: “It would have been great if stricter health measures had been put in place in the naturist village in early summer, given the huge number of holidaymakers.going there.
“Some are guilty of this crisis, but many are not, and the result is there.”
He sent flowers to the owner of the Oz’Inn hotel and added, “Thanks to him, the season will be a crisis for the whole of Cape Town.”
In the naked village, other people “the bank, the post office, the restaurants, the laundry or walk along the beach a kilometer long, without a shred of clothes”, according to its website.
