Good food on the beach
After a great walk on the beach, nothing
beats relaxing in one of Zandvoort’s
25 beach clubs. Each club has its own
atmosphere, menu and staff. They are all
unique. A complete and fancy lunch, fine
dining, enjoying a glass of wine and a bite
with your feet in the sand, watching the
sunset, grabbing some fried fish at a stand
or eating pancakes with the children?
Everything is possible. Check www.
tothebeach.amsterdam for an overview of
all the beach clubs to see which one fits
your current mood. Every day is different!
Active Zandvoort
The beach is not only a place for walking,
paddling in the sea and looking for
shells, but also for enjoying several active
pursuits, some commercial, some free.
The beach is ideal for power walking,
mountain biking or running. And what
about the fitness circuit that is set out
along the boulevard? It gives you the
opportunity to do different exercises while
running or walking. Suitable for beginners
and experts.
Do you prefer the water? There are
professionals teaching diving, surfing,
kiting, supping, rowing and sailing. And
when the weather is nice, you can use the
water taxi. It brings you from the regular
beach to the nude beach, which is a little
more to the south. Don’t want to get wet?
The beach is also perfect for yoga, pilates,
meditation and transformational breath.
And do you want to just relax and watch
your active family members? Then rent a
beach bed and lie back to enjoy the view.
Feel like a party?
The Zandvoort beach clubs do all they
can to please their guests. They regularly
organize large and small events: music
on Sunday afternoon, an oyster tasting,
cooking with Michelin chefs, a drive-in
cinema, a pop up camping, a bridge
tournament, the Dutch championship
Shrimp Shelling, a salsa night or a 30+
party. And you can always plan your
own party. A wedding, a baby shower, an
anniversary, your birthday or just a fun
barbecue for friends. A lively party on the
beach offers just that little bit extra.
Zandvoort has it all!

Speedy Racetrack
Feel the sensation during the greatest races on the legendary
and internationally famous Zandvoort race track. Experience the
spectacular races and events where it is all about speed, winning
and beautiful racing cars.

Racing on the beautiful dune track
The race track, beautifully hidden in the Zandvoort dunes,
is the dream destination for petrol heads all year round.
The track is the annual stage for many great racing events
like the Masters of Formula 3, Historic Grand Prix, Deutsche
Tourenwagen Masters, Winter Endurance Championship
and the New Year’s Races. You can watch all of these races
from the main stands, the pit lane or a handy dune top.
Wherever you are standing, you will always have a perfect
view of the fast asphalt.
And do you want to be at the wheel yourself on the track?
This is your chance! On Circuit Park Zandvoort you can race
your own car or ride along with an experienced race driver.
It is also the place to go for skid control training. In just one
day, you learn exactly what to do when your car skids. It’s
wise to be safe.
The race track is also perfect for product presentations,
events and lessons. Check http://www.cpz.nl/nl/kalender
for a complete list.
Racing, but not as we know it
Circuit Park Zandvoort is the ideal location for all kinds of
sporting activities. You can run, walk, cycle or skate. Want
to join in? Enter the one and only Circuit Run, the Family
Run or the 30km van Zandvoort, a beautiful walk through
the surrounding landscape. There is even a marked
mountain bike trail. There is a test market where you can
try out electric bikes on the track, or the little ones can
participate in the ‘fat tire race’ for ordinary bicycles. Want
a bit more of a challenge? Enter the only real Obstacle
Run or the Cycling Zandvoort 24 hour bicycle race.

Authentic Center
The town center is historically valuable, with its fisherman’s cottages and even a
‘hofje’ (an old courtyard). Discover the history from fishing town to beach resort
while walking through the town or visiting the museums. In the vibrant town
center you can go shopping or enjoy the terraces, and go out all night.

Centre
Zandvoort, more than just the beach
Zandvoort does not only have a beautiful historic center
with small fisherman’s cottages and an authentic ‘hofje’,
but also a commercial center with different specialty
stores, fashion shops, supermarkets, amusement arcades,
a cinema, a theater and a beautiful museum. The museum
doesn’t only provide a lot of information about the
Zandvoort of yesterday, but also regularly puts on great
exhibitions.
All year round, the town hosts all kinds of events
like Zandvoort Culinary, classical, jazz and Zandvoort
concerts, several large fairs each year and the World
Championships Shrimp Shelling. There is a weekly
market in the town center.
Something for everyone
Zandvoort is also home to dozens of restaurants, cozy
cafés and great sheltered terraces, in the sun of course.
So you can always find a cup of coffee, a drink, lunch or
full dinner. There is really something for everyone. From
pancakes, cheese fondue and sushi to Chinese, Greek,
Italian and Thai.
And want to go out after dinner? No problem in
Zandvoort. Many clubs, dancings and bars stay open
until the early hours of the morning. There is always
something to do.
Zandvoort has it all!
Dutch Dunes
Feel the seasons and admire the plants and animals year round in the
different dunes. Come find the deer, on foot or by bike.
Rambling in the dunes
The Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen are a unique natural
reserve close to Zandvoort. Out of bounds for bicycles and
dogs but great for walkers and runners. You can ramble
there for hours. Look around you and enjoy the rare birds,
the beautiful deer, the quick foxes and the many rabbits.
Since 2013 the ecoduct or wild life bridge ´Santpoort´
connects the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen to the
national park Zuid-Kennemerland. Dozens of animal species
use this bridge to cross the busy road, like the natterjack
toad, the sand lizard, the smooth newt and the northern
dune tiger beetle. This year the wall brown was spotted, a
butterfly that has been really struggling in the Netherlands.
Changing with the seasons
In spring, shepherds walk the dunes with their flock of
rare breed sheep. The sheep help manage the dunes,
eating the rampant prunus, among other things. In May
you can watch the flock being shorn or take a ride with
the horse and carriage to look for the lambs.
In autumn you can find beautiful mushrooms, morning
mist, falling leaves, spiders, tracks and the rutting of the
fallow deer. In their battle over the females, the male deer
dig holes, mark their territory with urine and make a lot
of noise burling (bellowing) and fighting. It is a sight to
behold.
www.awd.nl
For more information, check the Amsterdamse
Waterleidingduinen website (www.awd.nl). This
website also works well on your smartphone, so all the
information is easily accessible: news, walking routes,
background information and all events. And of course
it allows you to share your best pictures with the other
visitors! Tickets for the dune reserve can be obtained at
the entrance on the Zandvoortselaan.
Zandvoort has it all!
