The Maasvlakte beach or Slufter beach is a wide sandy beach on the Maasvlakte created in 1987 along the Slufter, a large-scale depot for the disposal of dredging spoil.
The beach is popular among water sports enthusiasts, who can use the beach all year round. Dogs are also allowed all year round. Furthermore, it is also a nudist beach.
The beach can be reached from Rotterdam via the A15/N15 motorway.
From August 2009 to early 2012, the "Slufterstrand" was closed due to the construction of the Second Maasvlakte.[1]
In spring 2012, the new recreational beach became publicly accessible. Three spacious parking areas were constructed. Artist Jan Konings designed a beach crossing consisting of three staircases (with steps varying in height) leading to the Maasvlakte 2 recreational beach.
In 2015, the artwork the Sand Watch was unveiled at the beach, marking the end of construction on Maasvlakte 2.
