This coastal region is known for its fabulous surroundings. Beautiful cycling and hiking trails wind along the expansive beach and through the dunes, forests, bird and nature reserves, meadows, and flower fields. Picturesque villages with inviting terraces and shops, such as Groet, Schoorl, and Bergen, dot the landscape.
In addition to all the natural experiences, there are numerous leisure and sporting opportunities, including hiking, cycling, mountain biking, surfing, kitesurfing, dining, canoeing, sport fishing, swimming, kite flying, golf, disc golf, mini-golf, horseback riding, mudflat hiking, and much more.
