The Dutch Coast

The Netherlands have a long coastline with wide pristine beaches surrounded by beautiful nature of dunes and forest. Zandvoort and Scheveningen have lively beach boulevards. In the North Netherlands you’ll find the Wadden Islands, with unspoiled nature, seals and special birds. You can reach these islands by ferry, but walking across the mudflats to get there is also a nice adventure.
