1. National Park Zuid-Kennemerland

Just a stone’s throw from Beachhouse Hotel are the impressive Kennemer Dunes. This vast nature reserve offers various walking routes through dunes, forests and along lakes.

The rolling landscape makes every walk here unique and versatile. After an active day, return to the hotel to enjoy the sunset.

2. Amsterdam Water Supply Dunes

For nature lovers, a visit to the Amsterdam Water Supply Dunes is an absolute must. This beautiful area is known for its high biodiversity and the many fallow deer that roam here. What makes this area extra special is that you are free to stray from the paths. So you can really discover your own route and explore. Don’t forget your camera, because this area is a paradise for photographers and nature lovers.

3. Elswout

Are you looking for a combination of nature and culture? Then a visit to Elswout country estate is definitely worthwhile. This centuries-old estate, located between Zandvoort and Haarlem, takes you along stately lanes, picturesque bridges and romantic ponds. The rolling moss carpets turn every walk into a fairytale experience. Elswout also offers a perfect place for a quiet picnic in a historical setting.

4. Middenduin

For those who love peace and space, a walk through Middenduin is the place to be. This relatively unknown nature reserve lies just outside Zandvoort and offers a mix of forest, dunes and open meadows. It is wonderfully quiet, making it a perfect place to unwind. The various walking routes are suitable for both short and longer walks.

5. Duin & Kruidberg

Finally, don’t miss Duin & Kruidberg. This dune area has a rich history and is known for its monumental manor house. Here you walk through a varied landscape of dunes, forests and heathland.
