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!

Callantsoog beach
6 Nico Jansen

The food was decent, nothing exceptional but not terrible either. The Krokett wasn't made fresh, but I heard that's typical for Beach Pavilions.
