Blijburg Beach
8 Liv

The particular location on Google is currently closed, but there is a spacious beach less than 500 meters away. This beach includes the Japanese restaurant that was mentioned in previous comments, as well as opportunities for water sports. The photos I uploaded are taken from that specific area, just a short distance to the left on the map.

Lemmer strand

The town is absolutely charming, and the location of the beach is simply stunning. I can't wait to return in the near future!

Makkum strand
8 Lara van den Berg

This place is absolutely incredible! My family and I make it a point to visit here 2-3 times every year. During the summer, the beach tends to get quite crowded, but it's still a great experience if you know the right spots to go to ;-) Oh, and let me tell you about the soft ice cream at the ice shop near De Hook - it's hands down the best I've ever had! I highly recommend trying it out!

Strand Bergen aan Zee
10 Zander Mitchell

When I visited the beach, the weather was quite blustery and chilly. However, my spirits were lifted by a delectable and promptly served toastee, which was absolutely delicious.

Egmond aan Zee
8 Sarina Kovalenko

This is a lovely spot with a few bars, and even during peak holiday season, it's not too crowded. The only downside is that parking can be a challenge - we had to park about 800 meters away. However, the rates are standard for the area. There's also a charming little boulevard near the beach with souvenir shops and more bars. Overall, I highly recommend this beach for a relaxing four-hour break.

Strand Julianadorp
10 Korin Mertens

Julianadorp is my top choice when it comes to finding a great spot. The food is expertly prepared and delicious, with a wide variety of drinks to choose from. The coffee is exceptional and the waitstaff is always friendly and attentive. The WiFi is decent, although the mobile network is not very strong. I have had the opportunity to work there multiple times and it has been a delightful experience, almost like working from home. Additionally, we had the pleasure of attending the lobster event with live music, which was fantastic. The musicians were incredibly talented and the lobster was absolutely delicious!
