I was already three times in Amsterdam but each time I went to Zandvoort aan Zee. It is not the most scenic beach since there are huge concrete houses in the back, but the beach itself is great. Its vast size alone makes it very...More

The Netherlands to most of us is Amsterdam for a few days but one city can become like any other and for a change of scenery we cannot recommend Zandvoort an zee to highly. Only half an hour on the train from central station; and...More
