Noordpier Beach is located on the north side of the North Sea Canal and is a real hotspot for windsurfers, kitesurfers, and surfers. The kilometer-long pier creates a unique wave pattern here—perfect if you’re looking for action on the water. It’s also the perfect spot to hunt for seashells or take a stroll along the impressive pier itself.
De Peddelpoel
The Peddelpoel is a small, sheltered swimming spot nestled amid the greenery of Spaarnwoude Park. With two sandy beaches, lovely sunbathing areas, and a small island, it’s the ideal place to relax and enjoy nature. Thanks to the showers and restrooms on site, it’s the perfect spot for a quick, refreshing dip away from the hustle and bustle of the coast.
The Westbroekplas
At the Westbroekplas, you can enjoy a clean and well-organized sandy beach where the water slopes very gently. Perfect for families with small children. In addition to hours of fun, you’ll also find the Villa Westend restaurant here. From the beach, you can walk right onto the cozy terrace for lunch or drinks, or rent a SUP board to head out onto the water.
