Legal context & local rules

Nude recreation in designated areas is legally permitted under Article 430a of the Wetboek van Strafrecht (Dutch Criminal Code). Municipalities formally designate suitable locations for nude recreation, creating a unique legal framework where public nudity is technically restricted but carefully regulated through local government designation.

Before you go

  • 1 Check the current local rules and access conditions before travelling.
  • 2 Bring a towel and sit on it when using shared seating.
  • 3 Never take photographs of other people without clear consent.
  • 4 Respect the venue’s clothing, privacy, and behaviour rules.

Baaiegatstrand

Baaiegatstrand is the naturist area of Het Twiske, a large recreation area of lakes, meadows and woodland just north of Amsterdam, between Zaandam and Purmerend, in the municipality of Oostzaan. Since 2011 the naturist site has been on an island reached by a wooden bridge, after it moved from the more remote Wezenlandstrand. It covers about 1.7 hectares, mostly sunbathing lawns. Sand runs along about half of the bay side (it was shortened in 2020), and a small new sand beach faces the Stootersplas lake. The bay is separated from the lake by a timber barrier and has a gently sloping bottom with a roped swimming zone up to 1.4 m deep and many water plants; on the Stootersplas side the bottom drops off steeply and suits experienced swimmers only. Tall planting hides the area from view except at the entrance. Facilities include a toilet, bins, bicycle racks, a volleyball court and two boules pitches, and dogs on a lead are allowed on the rear part. A New Year's dip is held on 1 January at 14:00.

Bloemendaal aan Zee

Bloemendaal aan Zee is the beach of the municipality of Bloemendaal, a wide North Sea sand beach west of Haarlem and Overveen, at the end of the Zeeweg and backed by the dunes of Zuid-Kennemerland National Park. The central section is lined with well-known beach pavilions and gets very busy on summer days. The nude area lies north of the pavilions, on the stretch reached from the Duin en Kruidberg beach entrance, where a sign at the entrance announces the nude beach. In 2009 the municipality designated two short textile stretches either side of that entrance, inside the nude area, which the Dutch naturist federation NFN protested; nude bathers therefore spread out a little away from the path. The beach is broad, fine sand with dunes behind and no shade. Bathing water quality is rated excellent, but North Sea currents can be strong, so swim near lifeguard posts.
