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.

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.

Zandvoort Beach
8 Nolan Archer

We had our first beach trip in the Netherlands and we absolutely loved it. The beach was beautiful and very clean. However, it was quite windy during our visit, so if you plan on going in the winter, make sure to dress appropriately, especially if you have small children with you. Luckily, there are nearby stores such as Dirk and Alberheign where you can pick up supplies or order food from the beach cabins. It's also a good idea to bring some toys or a football for the kids to play with. We brought a picnic blanket with us and enjoyed sitting on it while the sun was still out. Overall, it was a great day out and we definitely plan on returning during the summer.
