Beaches & Dunes

Egmond aan Zee is famous for its gorgeous and clean beach, and rightfully so. Go for a walk or swim, or enjoy a drink, snack or meal at one of the many bars and restaurants located near the coastline.

Please note: in the North Sea, the current can be strong, especially during low tide. For your own safety, make sure to stay close to the shore when you go swimming. In case you get pulled in by the current, do not fight against it but swim slanting to the shore with the current until help arrives or you can get yourself to safety.

If someone is in danger at the beach, you can call Egmond's coast guard at +31 72 506 33 12. You can also always call the Dutch national emergency line at 112.

 

 

Not a big fan of the sea? No problem. Leave the water behind and explore Egmond's sand dune reserve instead. Maybe you'll even spot Egmond's Scottish Highland cows...
