Egmond aan Zee

Egmond aan Zee combines the openness of a broad North Sea beach with the shelter of coastal dunes in a way that reflects its position on North Holland’s western shore. The white J.C.J. van Speijk Lighthouse, built in 1833 and named for Dutch naval officer Jan van Speijk, is the village’s defining landmark. Once a fishing settlement, Egmond aan Zee now has a distinctly seaside rhythm, with the long sandy coast and nearby Noordhollands Duinreservaat shaping walks, cycling routes and seasonal life.
