Zandvoort is a municipality in the province of North Holland, on the North Sea coast of the Netherlands. Known for its long sandy beach and position within the coastal dune landscape, it also serves as a submarine cable landing point connecting the Netherlands to the United Kingdom. Three submarine cables come ashore at Zandvoort, making it one of the more active landing points in the Dutch submarine cable network.
All three cables landing at Zandvoort connect to the United Kingdom, establishing a clear bilateral corridor across the southern North Sea. This short but strategically active sea route links Dutch and British telecommunications infrastructure, with cable lengths ranging from 203 km to 550 km. The cables span different generations, with two reaching ready-for-service status in 1999 and a third, Zeus, entering service in 2022.
Concerto is a submarine cable measuring 550 km in length that reached ready-for-service status in 1999. It connects Zandvoort in the Netherlands to the United Kingdom, forming a cross-North Sea link between the two countries.
Circe North is a 203 km submarine cable that also entered service in 1999. Like Concerto, it connects the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, providing a shorter routing across the North Sea between the two landing territories.
Zeus is a submarine cable that reached ready-for-service status in 2022, making it the most recent addition to Zandvoort's cable infrastructure. It connects the Netherlands to the United Kingdom, representing a newer generation of cross-North Sea capacity landing at this point.
Among the eight submarine cable landing points in the Netherlands, Zandvoort ranks alongside Eemshaven as one of only two locations hosting three cables. Other Dutch landing points such as Domburg, Ijmuiden, and The Hague each host two cables, while Beverwijk and Callantsoog each host one. Zandvoort therefore sits at the higher end of the Dutch landing point hierarchy by cable count.
Zandvoort functions as a multi-cable landing point dedicated entirely to the Netherlands–United Kingdom corridor. With three cables — Concerto, Circe North, and Zeus — spanning from 1999 to 2022, the point provides both legacy and modern connectivity across the southern North Sea. The presence of Zeus alongside the two 1999-era cables indicates continued investment in this particular bilateral route over more than two decades.
Within the broader Dutch submarine cable graph, Zandvoort's concentration on a single bilateral corridor distinguishes it from landing points that may serve more diverse geographic connections. Its position on the North Holland coast, combined with three operational cables to the United Kingdom, makes it a meaningful node in the Netherlands' North Sea-facing cable infrastructure.
