Nieuwe Meer, Lake and recreation area in west Amsterdam, Netherlands
Nieuwe Meer is a lake and recreation area in west Amsterdam with multiple designated swimming beaches. Its shoreline connects to green spaces served by paths for walking and cycling.
The lake's present shape and depth came from sand extraction that took place over many years. This excavation activity fundamentally altered the landscape of the western Amsterdam region.
The lake draws locals who come to swim, sail, and relax along its banks during the warmer months. People gather here for social activities and outdoor recreation that shape the rhythm of the surrounding neighborhoods.
The area is easily reached by bicycle, bus, or car via Oude Haagseweg. Multiple access points make it straightforward to visit from different directions.
The area includes designated clothing-optional zones and gathering spaces that become lively during summer. These social areas give the lake a distinctive character as a meeting point for different communities.
