The Dutch coast is probably not the first thing you plan for your visit to Holland. Having the North Sea in the west and the Wadden Sea in the north the Dutch coast is about 340 km long and has beautiful wide beaches. The dunes which protect the low lands from the water are beautiful nature reserves with countless trails and paths for walking and cycling. The Dutch coast is the perfect place to unwind after a few days in exciting Amsterdam.
There is a variety of recreational activities which you can do such as walking, swimming, sailing, kayaking, (kite) surfing, beach volleyball , building sand castles or simply relax. Even during fall and winter it can be busy at the Dutch beaches with people going for a walk. At summer time the beaches can be crowded, especially when temperatures rise above 25 degrees it looks like everyone found their way to the beach. But then still it’s a fantastic place to relax and to enjoy the Dutch beach life.
Most places at the beach have nice restaurants and bars at the beach where you can enjoy a drink at the terrace and order some food while watching the sunset. Some places are really worth a visit as they have a real “holiday” atmosphere with nice shops and entertainment. At many places beach parties are being organized during the summer period.
