Visiting the Netherlands means you get to enjoy their beautiful beaches, which are plentiful in this region. Despite the unpredictable spring weather, it's definitely worth checking out.

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.

Katwijk Beach

8 René J. Portraits

The beach was rather pleasant, and I visited it based on a recommendation from a travel guide. It's a great spot for taking photographs, particularly of the charming old church situated near the shore. However, I wouldn't suggest spending an excessive amount of time there.

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.

The warmest month during the year in this area is August, with the air temperature rising up to 21.3°C and the water temperature up to 19.4°C. The coldest month is January, with the air temperature dropping down to 6.6°C and the water temperature down to 6.6°C.
