Scheveningen-Zwarte Pad

North/northeast of the large tourist zone of Scheveningen Pier, this nude beach and attached dunes area provide excellent cruising opportunities. Men lie in the sun or walk the dunes, naked or wearing swimsuits or underwear, some with visible hardons.

Best time
Morning, afternoon, and early evening on sunny, warm days.
Crowd
This place has a bit of everything: young men, old men, singles, couples, all…
Watch out
It really annoys the locals when someone hikes through, fully-dressed, just staring.

The guide

Where exactly

Take the 1 tram from the City Center towards Scheveningen, get off at the end station Scheveningen Noorderstrand. Walk to the beach and then head north along the coast until you pass the last restaurant and the dunes begin. The dunes are a nudist area and a hangout for cruising men. Cross street: Zwarte Pad and Gevers Deynootweg

Cruisiest spot: The further north you head (away from the tourist areas of Scheveningen) the cruisier it gets. The dunes offer a lot of privacy, so you may need to walk around a bit to see who is who.

When to go

Morning, afternoon, and early evening on sunny, warm days.

Etiquette

Walk around first to get a feel for the place and who is there. Wear a swimsuit if you are uncomfortable with getting nude right away. This place is really relaxed, so you can be as overt (shake your hard at others as they pass by) or covert (just lie in the sun with a big bulge in your speedo and see who walks by).

Nudity: Yes / This is part of a nude beach, so nudity is not a problem. The beach side of the dunes is co-ed (and not cruising), so if you have a hardon or a looking for , stay up in the dunes themselves.

Safety

It really annoys the locals when someone hikes through, fully-dressed, just staring. If you are not there to have , that is fine and the attitude here is generous. You can look around all you like, but be prepared to show a bit of skin, too. This is a beach, after all! The police come through in slow-moving SUVs every now and then. The terrain (and noise of an SUV) makes it possible to spot them coming from quite a distance. They are simply there for crowd control, not to bust you for nudity (which is permitted).
