Kennemerstrand
Kennemerstrand is a sandy beach and natural area located on the coast of IJmuiden, in North Holland, at the northwestern end of Zuid-Kennemerland National Park. The site is primarily situated in a natural coastal environment rather than an equipped or urban beach. Its position by the sea and its connection to the national park make it a coherent choice if you are looking for a beach that maintains a clear landscape reading, near the North Sea. Other nearby locations are more dispersed: Zwembad De Heerenduinen at 4.2 km, Aqua Mundo at 7.9 km, De Oerkap at 9.4 km, and several water points beyond 11 km. The spot remains isolated from its immediate neighbors.
About this spot
Kennemerstrand should be considered as a sandy beach in a natural Dutch setting, near IJmuiden and Zuid-Kennemerland. Equipment information is limited; the choice therefore mainly relies on the coastal location and the interest of the natural area.
