Strand Egmond aan Zee
About
Strand Egmond aan Zee is a pristine, three‑mile stretch of white sand embraced by the North Sea, offering visitors a perfect setting for sunbathing, swimming, and leisurely strolls along the coastline. The beach is open daily, welcoming families, couples, solo travelers, and beach lovers alike. One of the beach’s unique highlights is the annual open day of the Royal Dutch Sea Rescue Organization (KNRM). On this special occasion the lifeboat De Adriaan Hendrik is launched from the shore, providing an unforgettable maritime adventure for those who wish to experience a lifeboat in action. Safety is a priority: the Egmond Restraid Brigade patrols the beach during the summer months, ensuring a secure environment for all visitors. Parking is conveniently managed—regional parking permits are available for all days from March 1 to November 1, and on Saturdays and Sundays outside this period. Whether you seek a tranquil beach day or a glimpse into local coastal rescue history, Strand Egmond aan Zee delivers a memorable seaside experience.
