Swirling dunes with protected forests, wet dune valleys and a Dutch desert. A stretch dunes area in the middle of the Randstad. The Hollands Duin runs from Wassenaar to well north of Noordwijk. A place to enjoy the wind or to find peace after a busy day. The dunes never bore. Protected forests, open plains and wet dune valleys alternate. In some places, the sand may even dust again. In summer, the temperatures at this 'Dutch desert’ can increase significantly.

Beaches
Noordwijk is the place to go for beaches, Noordwijk has a boulevard and lots of restaurants on the boulevard and at the beach.
Langervelderslag is a more quite beach.
Katwijk is the known fisherman’s village. A beach walk from Noordwijk to Katwijk is also nice!

More quite beach, but no beach clubs - only a few take away places and 1 restaurant in the dunes. Very nice playground and big parking lot and beautiful beach to bike to through the dunes

Best recommendation is to download the app fietsknooppunt, via this app you can select existing bike routes or create your own route using the existing bike network - most bike paths are hidden and not following the auto roads
