Beach & Dunes of Wijk aan Zee

Not only in summer is the North Holland coast a wonderful holiday destination — you'll find plenty to enjoy here in spring and late summer as well.

Wijk aan Zee is a beautiful seaside resort on the North Sea coast, nestled between the dunes and the stunning beach. It’s home to the widest and most scenic beach in the Netherlands. The beach is not only wide but also one of the cleanest in the country. For many years, Wijk aan Zee has proudly flown the Blue Flag — an international award for clean and safe beaches and marinas.

The North Holland dune area is a breathtaking place to relax, far from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The dunes offer endless beauty and opportunities for discovery, inviting you to walk or cycle year-round. You’ll be amazed by the many birds, adorable rabbits, and stunning plant life. Parts of the dune reserve are grazed by wild horses and Scottish Highland cattle.

In the heart of the dunes, you’ll even find an old farmhouse where you can enjoy delicious food and drinks.
