Zandvoort Beach for Amsterdam

Weekend away Zandvoort


In all seasons, Zandvoort is one of the most popular destinations for a weekend away. And with reason: nothing beats wandering along the beach for hours while sunbathing or clearing your head and stepping out in the lively town center. Enjoying a romantic dinner for two and watching the sun set in the sea. A fun getaway with the whole family, with friends or just on your own for a few days peace and quiet. A weekend away in Zandvoort is the perfect escape in the Netherlands. Close to home, but still a complete change of environment.


The sea calms, activates and inspires. The expansive beach invites you to walk, play sports, enjoy the sun or simply feel the sand beneath your feet. Learn how to surf, SUP or raft and afterwards enjoy a delicious cocktail in one of the beach pavilions. There are many restaurants where you can have a tasty meal during your weekend away at the beach or in the town center. All year round and each with a unique atmosphere, and there are many types of cuisine to choose from.


And although you'll never get tired of the beach, there are plenty of other things to do. Zandvoort is bordered by two beautiful natural reserves: National Park Zuid-Kennemerland where you can cycle for hours, and the dunes of the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen with its large population of fallow deer. Cross the boulevard and you'll find yourself on the tarmac of the official Formula 1 racetrack. It's so much fun to go see a race, book a guided tour or drive some laps yourself. And even when the weather is not so great, Zandvoort offers a lot of entertainment. Go for a swim in the Center Parcs tropical swimming paradise with the new wild water rapids. Play one of the challenging Escape Rooms, go see the latest blockbuster movie, place a bet at the casino or wander around the authentic shopping streets in the town center. Zandvoort also has a direct train link to beautiful cities like Haarlem and Amsterdam.


In Zandvoort you can spend the night right on the seaside, with a view of the dunes or in the lively center. Plenty of options for a weekend away. There's cozy B&B's and guest houses, comfortable hotels and fun apartments, but also several campings. There's always something that suits your needs!
