Schoteroog is a waterside access point situated at the Mooie Nel, on the edge of the Haarlemmerliede recreation area near Haarlem.

The site sits at a historically significant transition zone between an ancient coastal ridge landscape and the surrounding peat district, an area shaped since medieval times by drainage, reclamation, and later urban expansion.

The location serves as a base for recreational boating, with facilities including toilets, a shower, and the JVW bar, which is staffed by volunteers on weekends during winter.

Boat maintenance and renovation are supported on-site, and covered winter storage is available for smaller open boats and sloops. A supervisor lives on the grounds of the old farm that anchors the site.

Schoteroog lies close to Schoterbrug, and crossing the bridge brings visitors to Spaarndamseweg, where bus connections provide quick access to central Haarlem. Supermarkets and other amenities are within easy reach on foot or by bicycle.
