Overview

Naaktstrand Egmond Zuid is a section of coast south of Egmond aan Zee listed for naturist use. It forms part of the broad sandy North Holland shoreline, backed by dunes and facing the North Sea. The setting is open and generally quiet, with sand underfoot, changeable wind and cloud, and cool water with waves and currents. There are no assured toilets, showers, shops or lifeguards within the naturist section. Visitors usually bring water, food and sun and wind cover, stay on marked dune paths, and respect signage showing where the naturist section begins and ends.

Visiting the beach

Naaktstrand Egmond Zuid sits along the open North Sea coast south of Egmond aan Zee, within the municipality of Bergen in North Holland. Access is on foot from beach accesses and dune paths, and visitors are expected to stay on marked routes and respect signage for the naturist section. The surface is sand, with dunes behind the beach and a wide, exposed shoreline. Parking is generally in village or beach access car parks, where charges may apply, followed by a walk to the section. Public transport generally serves the Egmond villages, with onward travel on foot or by bicycle. The beach itself is generally quiet, though warm summer afternoons bring more people. Late morning to afternoon generally offers the warmest conditions for sunbathing, and the main season is June to August. The area has limited facilities. Toilets, showers, shops and kiosks are not assured in the naturist section, so visitors use facilities in developed beach areas and bring water and food. Lifeguard supervision is not assured throughout the section, and North Sea water is generally cool with waves and currents that vary daily. There is little natural shade on the sand, with high sun and wind exposure in clear weather. Bring wind protection and sun cover, and allow a few hours for walking, swimming and sunbathing. The beach is an open coastal area without gated hours and is mainly usable in daylight and fair weather. Dune paths and soft sand may be difficult for reduced mobility, and step-free access is not assured. Dog rules may vary by season and section, so check local signage before bringing dogs.
