Zandvoort, Beach resort municipality in North Holland, Netherlands

The coastal town extends along a sandy beach bordered by extensive dunes of Zuid-Kennemerland National Park, offering multiple water activities and nature paths.

The settlement, initially named Sandevoerde around 1100, remained under the governance of the Lords of Brederode until 1722, transitioning from fishing to tourism.

The presence of Circuit Zandvoort, established in 1948, transformed the municipality into a center for motorsports, hosting numerous Dutch Grand Prix events.

The railway station maintains regular connections to Amsterdam and Haarlem, with 38 beach pavilions providing food services along the coastal stretch.

The municipality includes designated naturist beach sections extending 2.5 kilometers, where visitors participate in activities from kite surfing to hang gliding.
