nightlife

It’s a summer institution for the Amsterdam masses that hit this Zeeburg beach club, located directly on the sand in one of the city’s newest up-and-coming suburbs. It’s not your usual European beach club, instead it’s more of a Café del Mar live music scene with summertime beach following of bohemian musicians, 20-something with child in tow and sexy locals that come in bikini and bicycle. During winter, the club takes on a more low-key identity with weekend bar scene and occasional frigid beach bonfire that attracts bundled-up hipsters and commune-dwelling models. The club changes from year-to-year, constructed around a makeshift main room with wooden stage and casual bar with café serving beer and bites. No lavish cocktail scene here, as proletariats with rippling abs and amazing suntans spend their long summer nights at this friendly beach music venue that’s one of Amsterdam’s best.

Tips

Winters lure more of a local neighborhood crowd while summer offers all the fruits of a sexy beach scene as city residents make their way to the surf.

Last Word

Indoor/Outdoor beach club offer live music concerts, weekend DJs and sexy year-round scene directly on the sand in one of Amsterdam’s up-and-coming beach boroughs.
