What to do and see in North Holland Province, The Netherlands: The Best Beaches

August 31, 2021 Mikaela Didonna

Mostly jutting northward from its largest city of Amsterdam and its capital of Haarlem, the Noord-Holland region has much more to offer beyond those two wonderful cities. At Muiden is the magnificent Muiderslot Castle, as if it stepped out of a fairy tale. Showing more wear but no less interesting is Brederode Castle at Santpoort. At Zaanstad is Zaanse Schans, one of Holland’s top tourist destinations and a family-friendly open air museum of windmills, traditional buildings, crafts and shops.

Going to Zandvoort aan Zee was a great bonus to our Amsterdam vacation. Only 30 minutes with train from Amsterdam Central you think that you are in Greece, Spain or Italy. A seemingly endless, clean beach with the possibility to find something to eat and drink a long the way. If the weather permits, I will plan for a day at Zandvoort aan Zee the next time I go to Amsterdam.

We walked along this beach whilst waiting for a tour to start. Its incredibly quiet, clean and beautiful. The different coloured cabins, and the lighthouse at the back compliment this gem beautifully. Enjoyed collecting seashells along the shore too.

Strand van Wijk aan Zee

Reviewed By LeonaG580

We spent three days in this beautiful area of Holland. The beach is very well kept and extremely clean. Lovely soft sand. A great beach for surfing and surf kiting . Some parts of the beach dogs are allowed depending what time of year it is. There are a few cafes on the beach but sadly the majority were closed whilst we were there in October. Certainly worth a visit.
