If you’d like to clear your head and enjoy the North Sea for a while, you don’t have to travel far: the beach at Egmond aan Zee is right on the doorstep and is perfect for a walk in the fresh air.

Paved beach access paths make it easy to reach the sea. For those who cannot cross the sand in a regu­lar wheel­chair, special beach wheel­chairs are avail­able. So-called “Jutter” chairs — some even with elec­tric drive — can be hired at the BikeMike bicy­cle rental in Hotel Zuider­duin or directly at the beach pavilions. 

An outing that can be shaped entirely to your liking: perfect for a short stroll or an extended walk along the beach.

“Good to know”: Espe­cially lovely in dry autumn weather and wind. Depend­ing on your mood and fitness level, you can spend one to three hours on the beach.
