Beach parking
For a day at the seaside, pick one of these car parks, each by its own beach entrance:
Car park Strand Zuiderbad
- On the western side of the village, reached via the Rijckert Aertszweg, right by the Zuiderbad beach entrance
- Free, all year round.
Car park Strand Noorderbad
- On the northern side of the village, via the Dorpsduinen
- The Noorderbad beach entrance is on the Relweg
- Free, all year round.
Car park Strand Noordpier/Reyndersweg
- On the Reyndersweg south of the village, by the quiet beach between Wijk aan Zee and the North Sea Canal
- The municipality of Velsen has not introduced paid parking there in 2026
Overflow car park Dorpsweide
- In the middle of the village, reached via the Julianaweg
- From there you walk to the beach entrances
- The grass field only opens on summer days when the other car parks are full
- €4 per day.
- No cars on the beach: driving a car or motorbike on the beach is not allowed unless you have an exemption from the municipality.
- Wheelchair or rollator: the Blauwe Loper, a long row of concrete slabs across the sand, lets you get close to the sea with a wheelchair, mobility scooter or rollator.
Free parking in Wijk aan Zee
In Wijk aan Zee free parking is the rule rather than the exception, even close to the sea:
The Zuiderbad, Noorderbad and Noordpier beach car parks are free; see beach parking.
- Ordinary streets: outside the streets marked red, parking in the village is free; just keep to the parking bays and the traffic signs.
- Red streets on weekdays: the permit requirement in those streets only applies from Friday 19.00 until Sunday 24.00; at other times you may park there without a permit, unless a sign says otherwise.
