The route to IJmuiden starts and ends at the NS Station Zandvoort. If you come by car, you can also park (paid) on the north boulevard and start from there. The route will be a bit shorter.
Wandelen naar de pier van IJmuiden
From Zandvoort to IJmuiden is a beautiful route between the two seaside resorts. You walk over the Zandvoort beach via Bloemendaal aan zee to the pier of IJmuiden and back through the Zuid-Kennemerland National Park.
