Naaktstrand

Naaktstrand is a naturist beach in Bredene along the Belgian North Sea coast, spanning about 350 meters of sand at the base of protected dunes. The area is clearly separated from other beach sections and offers a designated environment for clothing-optional bathing.

The beach was officially established in 2001, marking a turning point in Belgium as the first and only state-recognized naturist destination. This founding created a structured and safe environment for naturists in the country.

The beach symbolizes an open attitude toward body freedom in Belgium, showing how naturists and other beachgoers coexist peacefully side by side. Clear boundaries allow both groups to enjoy their preferred way without interfering with each other.

The beach is accessible from Easter Saturday through the second Sunday of October, with lifeguards on duty during summer months. Visitors should note that access may be limited outside this season and conditions vary depending on weather.

The beach can accommodate up to 1,000 naturists during peak season, making it the largest clothing-optional gathering location on the Belgian coast. This high capacity sets it apart distinctly from other options in the region.
