Zandvoort is the North Sea resort you can reach from Amsterdam in around 30 minutes by train. Zandvoort is queer mainly in summer, when the gay naturist section of the south beach is packed.
The scene
Zandvoort Gay Beach is around beach posts 68 to 71 by Paviljoen Fosfor, about 3 km south of the station. There are no permanent queer bars in the town.
When to go?
- June to August: beach season, Paviljoen Fosfor open
