Egmond aan Zee

There is always something to see and do in Egmond aan Zee! The perfect combination of sandy beaches, dunes, sea and beautiful forests. There are a lot of beach pavilions to enjoy a nice day in the sun. Egmond is situated behind the dunes, and has many nice boutiques, restaurants and outdoor seating.

Egmond aan Zee used to be a fishing village, and children were sent here from the city to recuperate in the clean air. Today, Egmond aan Zee is still a town that welcomes you with open arms!
