Best beach around! White sandy beach with around 10 beachclubs for excellent beachlife, food and drinks. Pretty quiet and family friendly during daytime, in the weekends at night transforming into trendy dance clubs. Our Favorite for families; Rapa Nui.

Beachclub at the far south end of Zandvoort beach with very nice vibe and gay friendly. They offer some nice food ( try the gamba's piri-piri. ) and no music so very relaxing and quiet. The pin on the map is not correct; it is the last beachclub in Zandvoort and you can only walk or bike to it if you go as south as possible at the 'boulevard Paulus Loot.' Take the bicycle road south in the dunes till you find a dune crossing or walk from the southest point on the boulevard to the beach and walk along the shore south for a mile. It's worth the effort!
