As a seaside resort catering to tourists, there is no shortage of things to do in Zandvoort – many of them active. There are plenty of opportunities to go surfing, stand-up paddle boarding, kitesurfing and other water sports right on the water, while those not in the mood to get wet can bike the coast or hike along the dunes.
If it isn’t exactly beach weather, Zandvoort still has plenty to do: visit the Jutters Mu-ZEE-um to check out some artefacts discovered in the sand by beachcombers, or the Zandvoorts Museum for art and history.
