Top 10 Nature & Parks in North Holland Province, The Netherlands
Mostly jutting northward from its largest city of Amsterdam and its capital of Haarlem, the Noord-Holland region has much more to offer beyond those two wonderful cities. At Muiden is the magnificent Muiderslot Castle, as if it stepped out of a fairy tale. Showing more wear but no less interesting is Brederode Castle at Santpoort. At Zaanstad is Zaanse Schans, one of Holland’s top tourist destinations and a family-friendly open air museum of windmills, traditional buildings, crafts and shops.

Going to Zandvoort aan Zee was a great bonus to our Amsterdam vacation. Only 30 minutes with train from Amsterdam Central you think that you are in Greece, Spain or Italy. A seemingly endless, clean beach with the possibility to find something to eat and drink a long the way. If the weather permits, I will plan for a day at Zandvoort aan Zee the next time I go to Amsterdam.

There are trains every half hour to Overveen, just 24 minutes, the park is one kilometer from the station. Just after the entrance you reach a small lake suitable for a bath or swim, this area is mostly aimed at small children with sand, dunes, forest. Then you can follow the blue trail, 10 kilometers through the pristine nature to the sea and beach and back, on the way back it passes an island where birds nest.
