Zandvoort is particularly well known as a result of its beach. A far reaching sandy beach which measures an impressive nine kilometres in length. Plus an average of 100 meters wide. Therefore plenty of space for recreational activities. Sailing, surfing and beach volleyball. And relaxation of course. After all, the beach boasts 41 different beach pavilions. Here you can eat, drink and find shelter from the sea wind. Zandvoort has a three kilometre long glass wall protecting the terraces. Two of the beach pavilions are open throughout the year. The former fishing village is literally bursting with nice catering establishments and shops. Shops which also open their doors on Sundays. You can enjoy a walk amongst the historic buildings with their beautiful facades. The Raadhuis and the Gasthuishofje are excellent examples of these. Towns like Haarlem and Amsterdam are nearby. Plus Schiphol is just a 20 kilometre drive away.
