Zandvoort naturist beach (posts 68–71)

in Amsterdam, Netherlands

Amsterdam's gay FKK beach on the North Sea, just ~30 min by train from Centraal. The official nudist zone runs between beach posts 68 and 71, with the Fosfor beach club marking the southern end.

Where it is

The naturist beach lies on the North Sea coast at Zandvoort, south of the town centre between beach posts 68 and 71, about 30 minutes by train from Amsterdam.

What it is

The wide, natural naturist beach has a relaxed, sociable reputation; the section around posts 70/71 is the gay area, with cruising spots in the adjoining dunes further from the centre. Beach pavilions and bars provide refreshments, and the easy train link makes it a convenient day trip.

History

Zandvoort has long been the closest seaside escape for Amsterdam and grew into the most-visited naturist beach in the Netherlands. The stretch around posts 70/71 established itself over the years as a popular gathering spot for the gay scene.
