About Naaktstrand Noordwijk, Langevelderslag
Langevelderslag is the northern of Noordwijk's two designated nude beaches on the South Holland coast, between Noordwijk and the Zandvoort municipal border; the other, Duindamseslag, lies further south. The official nude zone runs between beach poles 73 and 74 and is signed both on the sand and at beach access 28. Until 2008 the zone was longer, and in practice nude bathers still use the stretch north toward pole 71.5 at the Zandvoort boundary, giving roughly a kilometre of nude beach. Beyond that lies the Noordvoort beach reserve and then, after a short clothed stretch, Zandvoort's own nude beach. The beach is wide North Sea sand with a gently sloping bottom, backed by the dunes of the Hollands Duin nature area, and it is one of the quieter stretches on this coast. There are no facilities or lifeguards on the nude section; food, drink, a beach club and the nearest lifeguard post are at the Langevelderslag beach entrance. Expect clothed walkers and dog walkers along the waterline.
Getting there
Drive to the Langevelderslag beach entrance north of Noordwijk, where the car park is about 1.5 km from the nude zone; a day ticket cost EUR 10 in July 2025 and the lot fills early on warm days. Cyclists can use beach access 28, which has bike parking and leads straight onto the nude beach; there is also guarded bike parking at the main entrance. Buses are far away (about 5.5 km to the nearest stop). Soft sand and dune paths make it unsuitable for wheelchairs.
What visitors say
Reviewers describe a wide, quiet and relaxed beach with a mixed crowd of couples and singles, quietest toward Zandvoort. Common complaints are clothed walkers and dog walkers passing along the waterline, low-flying paragliders over the dunes, the long walk from the car park and parking that fills fast in summer. Signage and bins have changed over the years, so check signs on arrival.
