Zandvoort

Zandvoort (Dutch pronunciation:) is a municipality in the province of North Holland, Netherlands. It is one of the major beach resorts of the Netherlands; it has a long sandy beach. It is bordered by coastal dunes of Zuid-Kennemerland National Park and the Amsterdam water supply dunes. It hosts the country's most prominent motor racing circuit, Circuit Zandvoort—the host of the Dutch Grand Prix from 1950 through 1985 and from 2021 to 2026.

The municipality extends inland to take in Bentveld; it had a population of 17,374 in 2025. A nudist bathing section of the beach with six eateries begins about 2 km (1¼ miles) to the south and extends kilometers further.
