Things to do in Zandvoort

Once a small fishing village, now a delightful seaside resort, welcome to Zandvoort aan Zee! The nicest beach bars spring up like mushrooms, stroll along the boulevard and take lovely walks among the deer in the dunes. Wondering what you can do in Zandvoort around the promenade and surroundings during a day or weekend trip? Here you will find sights and fun activities in and around Zandvoort aan Zee!

Discover the center of Zandvoort

Zandvoort aan Zee has a cozy and pleasant center, full of shops. Take a walk through the village and discover the old houses, the church and the square. Because part of it is car-free, it immediately feels idyllic.

 

TIP! Visit the Cheese Corner, a small artisan shop full of goodies with friendly staff.

Here you have come to the right place for the tastiest cheeses, freshly roasted nuts and delicious snacks.

The tastiest freshly made sandwiches every day, and delicious homemade soups, lasagna and other specialties.

Zandvoort museum

Half of the Zandvoort Museum is a permanent exhibition of everything that makes Zandvoort so special, including unique objects and a room full of paintings. The other half, our “Guest House Room,” is constantly renewed to show Zandvoort over and over again. Every three months a new theme takes center stage in Zandvoort's permanent collection, highlighting the history of our beautiful village more than ever before.

Walk in the nature reserves

Just a stone's throw from Zandvoort you will find two wonderful nature reserves: the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen (Zandvoortselaan 130 2042 XC Zandvoort) and Zuid-Kennemerland.

I personally love both areas and come here regularly to walk, as I live close by. Both areas are beautiful and, above all, nice and quiet. You can walk there, but you can also take your bike or take the bus. Of course you can also go by car, but you have to pay to park at the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen. However, it is not much; You can buy a day ticket for €2. You also have to pay €1.50 for admission, but it is more than worth it. Do you also want to spot animals? Then go to Zuid Kennemerland, (Zeeweg 12 2051 EC Overveen) where you will encounter deer and Scottish Highlanders, among other things.

Circuit Zandvoort

Circuit Zandvoort is known as a true “Old School” circuit, with fast, undulating and challenging corners formed by the natural dunes. With a track length of 4.3 kilometers, it is one of the shorter circuits on the F1 calendar. Almost nowhere else do drivers race past race fans so often!

Beach

At Tent 6, (beach entrance 6, Boulevard Paulus Loot) you can sit and have lunch. Would you rather have breakfast or dinner? That's possible here too! From fresh fish to smoothies: sit down and enjoy all the organic delicacies. Are you in Zandvoort on a Wednesday or Friday? Don't forget to take a yoga class at Tent 6. If the weather is nice you do yoga on the beach, if the weather is bad you move inside. Would you rather have a massage? That's possible here too! In other words: it has all the ingredients for a wonderful holiday in Zandvoort.

Combine Zandvoort with Haarlem or Amsterdam

From Zandvoort you can take the train to Haarlem in ten minutes. Or you can take the bike for a nice half-hour ride. There is plenty to do in Haarlem: from shopping at all the nice boutique shops on the Kleine Houtstraat to terrace shopping. Would you rather combine Zandvoort with a day in Amsterdam? That is also possible! You can reach Amsterdam by train within 30 minutes. Zandvoort has the ideal location to combine beach, nature and city.
