Beaches
The beach at Wijk aan Zee is fairly flat and runs down fairly sharply. The seaside resort is situated directly at the open dune area, the 'Northern Dutch Dune Reserve’, that is very woody here and there. The sandy beach is nicely wide and also well suited for horse riding. The sand banks provide excellent waves.

Beach tips
- At low tide there is a strong current towards the sea, than stay close to shore. In case you get pulled in by the current do not try to swim straight against it, but swim slanting to the shore with the current. Also be aware of floating devices like air-beds, boats or other swimming devices.
- Do not get to close to the poles, piers or other obstacles.
- Watch your children carefully, do not let them alone near the water. Are there recognition signs on the beach, tell it to your children.
- Help to keep the beaches clean.
