Noordwijk is waiting to be discovered this summer. With its 13 kilometers of sandy beach, dunes, and unique location near the cities of Leiden, Haarlem, Amsterdam, and The Hague, Noordwijk is the ideal place for a summer stay.

Does vacation mean stylish beach clubs, good music, and feet in the sand to you? Or are you looking for moments of tranquility in nature with endless walks? Do you enjoy making new experiences with family and friends? Noordwijk, Noordwijkerhout, and De Zilk offer something for everyone to make your summer unforgettable.

Read here the top 10 tips for this summer:

#1. A Different Beach Every Day

You have thirteen kilometers of sandy beach along the coast of Noordwijk waiting for you. Whether you seek peace or prefer lively socializing, everything is possible in Noordwijk.

For pulsating beach vibes, visit the beach at Koningin Wilhelmina Boulevard. Relax on a sun lounger at one of the trendy beach clubs or enjoy lunch or a drink on the terrace with a sea view. The beach at Koningin Astrid Boulevard offers the most beautiful sunsets in a stylish atmosphere, best enjoyed with a cocktail in hand. Take your bike or walk through the dunes to the real family beach Duindamseslag. The northernmost beach in Noordwijk is Langevelderslag, cozy and adjacent to the first Dutch beach reserve Noordvoort, where pure tranquility awaits you.

Tip: Looking for a real surfer hotspot? You'll find it at beach entrance 21, a little further north. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere at Beach Break and learn to surf or kite at Lex Surfschool.

#2. Culinary Delights Outdoors

A delicious lunch break in nature or dinner outside on the terrace is essential for the ultimate holiday feeling. The possibilities in Noordwijk are endless. By the sea, with your feet in the sand, you can choose from many beach clubs, each with its own style and menu. Or be surprised by the relaxed atmosphere of the trendy restaurants at Oosterduinse Meer (a small lake in Noordwijkerhout). You’ll find restaurants at the edge of the forest, in the dunes, or amidst nature. And cozy spots around the Witte Kerk (White Church) in Noordwijkerhout, as well as in the beautiful historic Noordwijk Binnen.

Tip: Can’t decide? Take the terrace tour by bike. It leads you to the most beautiful terraces while you can fully enjoy the surroundings.
