On the quiet part after the boats, nude recreation is already taking place.

In the front dunes, you can find shelter from the wind.

The fourth beach entrance (Wassenaar 4 De Ruyter) from Katwijk aan Zee. Nude recreation also occurs between the third and fourth beach entrances.
Paviljoen de Duinen, about 500 meters from the beach entrance.
The nudist beach of Katwijk is also accessible via the Wassenaarseslag. Then turn right to the north. Nude recreation already occurs at some distance from the beach entrance. The "official" tolerance area is about 2.5 km away.
This sign at the Wassenaarseslag indicates the route to the nude beach of Scheveningen. Turn right before the nudist beach of Katwijk (about 2.5 km). Below are some pictures of Katwijk.
The Uitwateringskanaal in Katwijk on the north side. A few times a year, during the bathing season, during heavy rainfall, raw sewage is discharged into the sea. Particularly on the north side of the boulevard, the bathing water quality can be unsatisfactory. Fortunately, the nudist beach area is at a good distance (3 km).
The Uitwateringskanaal in Katwijk on the landward side. Here is the
Gemaal Katwijk. Early the Old Rhine flowed into the sea here.
The Andreaskerk, locally also known as "Oude Kerk" or "White Church", right on the boulevard.
The fire beacon of Katwijk aan Zee, also called Vierboet, is the second oldest preserved lighthouse building in the Netherlands.
