Egmond aan Zee

Highlight • Beach

Great little beach town surrounded by large dune preserves and flower fields. Close to Amsterdam but cute and quiet in the off-season. Good base for bike rides along the coast.

Three cows are rapping through the dune path, oho! On the bike path, quite leisurely, yippee!
The first one moos: "Be quiet, we want to rest here, otherwise the beetle rain will soon retreat back to us."

You can't get to the beach directly from here. But there's a great bike path through the dunes. Peace and quiet guaranteed.

Egmond aan Zee is the best known of the three villages, mainly because of the beautiful beach and extensive dunes. The beach is a favorite spot for sun worshipers, swimmers and water sports enthusiasts. The dunes …

May 26, 2024,🇳🇱 Egmond / Castricum / Bakkum 😍 Stadtradeln-Finale 🎯🏁

The early bird 🐦... collects a few more kilometers at the end of the Stuttgart city cycling weeks - in the (very) early morning 💪 Because it had no other option, AND because to my surprise the rain had stopped during the night, I (ME!, the self-confessed late-starter!) got in the saddle at 7.30 a.m. with the aim of doing …

June 9, 2024,Noordhollands Duinreservaat – Duinen bij Bakkum Rondje vanuit Egmond aan Zee

I was always in doubt: head towards the sea and dunes, or towards the heath again. On the way to Bussum I decided to follow my heart and not the weather forecast, and I am very happy with that choice. Ok, a little more wind, but so nice to be in the dunes again. Still high water in some places …

Today it was supposed to rain, so it was only a short tour to the visitor center de Hoep and to the castle ruins of Egmond.

The dune tour south of Egmond is in my opinion not quite as appealing as the one to the north, but still recommendable.
