Off to the beach

Pure enjoyment

The North Sea beach at Callantsoog is just a 10-minute cycle from De Nollen along a cycling and walking path that runs straight through the Luttickduin nature area and the Kooibosch. The broad sandy beach is kilometres long and on average 100 metres wide, so there is plenty of room to enjoy a relaxed day by the sea. 

The beach at Callantsoog has flown the Blue Flag for many years, a European Union award for a clean and safe beach. Looking for a bite or a drink right on the North Holland coast? There are no fewer than five beach pavilions.

Just behind the beach, separated by a high, narrow row of dunes, lies the village of Callantsoog. It is one of the oldest and prettiest seaside resorts in the country, with a charming centre full of small shops, terraces and restaurants. Most shops and restaurants are open all year round, including Sundays.

Unlike many other seaside resorts, Callantsoog allows you to bring your dog to the beach all year round. From 1 April to 30 September dogs must be kept on a lead between 09.00 and 19.00.

There is space for naturists too: just south of the Kiefteglop beach entrance lies the oldest official nudist beach in the Netherlands.
