Beach and waters

Beach Oostvoorne

From car beach to most sustainable coast of the Netherlands since 2004. It is a beautiful nature reserve and therefore actually the mudflats of South Holland. The beach is located in a bay and is therefore popular with both migratory birds and kite surfers. A beautiful natural beach where nature lovers and water sports enthusiasts come together. From the large parking lot in the dunes you can take a walk to the coastline where you can sometimes admire kiters or sunbathing seals with binoculars.

Maasvlakte beach

Enjoy the peace and space for swimming, sunbathing and walking. The latter is also allowed with the dog, provided it is kept on a leash.

The Maasvlakte beach is best known for its ideal conditions and a strong wind for surfers and kiters. Kiters on the Maasvlakte have their own extensive beach area just north of the parking lots. At the beach you will find the artwork De Zandwacht, which marks the end of construction on the Second Maasvlakte.

Brielse Meer 

The Brielse Maas, better known as the Brielse Meer, is a beautiful recreational area of about 800 hectares. In addition to the many opportunities to spend your free time on land, the pond of 400 hectares offers plenty of opportunity to practice water sports.

The area is pre-eminently a water sports paradise. The water runs through the area for about ten kilometers, with sunbathing areas on both sides, marinas, freely accessible mooring facilities, beaches, a naturist area, campsites and catering establishments. You can easily rent a boat and Het Brielse Meer is suitable for surfing, diving, sailing, swimming and fishing. Walking, cycling and riding trails have been created around the lake. From the Brielse Meer you can sail straight into the center of the fortified town of Brielle to enjoy the historic surroundings.

Beach Rockanje

The bathing beach of Rockanje is a unique beach due to its location on the south. The beach slopes gently towards the sea, making it very suitable for families with small children. At the beach pavilions you can enjoy the sun, sea and good food. The bathing beach of Rockanje is divided between the beach entrances: the 1st and 2nd stroke.

The beach is very popular with sun lovers in the summer, but it is also wonderful to relax in the other seasons. There are several beach pavilions and there are opportunities for various beach and water sports or to rent a lounger for sunbathing. You can easily park here and before you know it you will find yourself with your feet in the sand.

With the dog to the beach

Are you taking the dog on holiday? Then a visit to the beach cannot be missed. Most dogs love the beach. A nice walk on the beach, rolling in the sand and of course a quick dip in the sea.

In general, if the dog is welcome, they can run loose between mid-September and mid-May. After mid-May, this is only allowed between 7:00 PM and 10:00 AM. On some beaches, dogs are no longer allowed to come at all during these months. There are information boards at all beach entrances stating whether dogs are welcome on the beach.
