Naaktstrand Groene Ster

Naaktstrand Groene Ster is a clothing-optional bathing location in Gemeente Leeuwarden, Friesland, the Netherlands. Dutch naturism has been organised since 1930 under the Nederlandse Naturisten Federatie (NNF), the national federation, which coordinates a network of beaches, lakes, and clubs across all twelve provinces. The Netherlands has more naturist federation members per capita than almost any other country in Europe. Informal naturism also has wide social acceptance — particularly at inland lakes and rivers — and is strongly represented on the North Sea coast (Castricum, Texel, Goeree-Overflakkee) and in the freshwater recreation areas of Friesland, Zeeland, and the Randstad.

Dutch law contains no specific anti-nudity statute. The general public-order framework (Openbare Orde) applies the same intent-based test as most Western European jurisdictions — non-sexual nudity at established naturist locations is outside the statute's reach.
