Hoornse Plas Cruising Area

The Hoornse Plas, a swimming lake on the southern edge of Groningen, hosts one of the most established cruising areas in the region, next to the nudist beach on the quieter shore. It is so well known that the municipality reshaped the terrain in 2012-2013 specifically to separate sunbathers, naturists and cruisers - about as close to official recognition as a cruising spot gets. Summer afternoons and early evenings are busiest. Tolerated in typical Dutch fashion; be discreet and leave the place as you found it.
