Strand Egmond aan Zee

Reviewed By Hanneke_8 - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Egmond has a nice wide beach to walk. However, the dunes are not very high here. You can see the roofs of homes and hotels over the dunes. Quite different in that respect from Zandvoort or Ijmuiden. The place has a typical touristy feel to it, but it is enjoyable. Several nice beach cafe's on the beach, which were open although it was the middle of the winter. All in all, an enjoyable beach to visit.

Museum van Egmond

Reviewed By bas k - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The charming museum is small and gives an insight into local history of the former fishing village. Larger musea are found in Alkmaar and Bergen.In my opinion worth a visit if you are in the village and want a break from the beach.

Vuurtoren J.C.J. Van Speijk

Reviewed By MartijnMulder - Egmond aan Zee, The Netherlands

This lighthouse is a monument for J.C.J. Van Speijk, but was already a lighthouse when the monumental base was added. During summer and on special occasions, it is possible to visit the lighthouse and enjoy the wonderful views of Egmond aan Zee.

Bunkermuseum Jansje Schong

Reviewed By Kinga F

I would like to recommend this place as a place full of knowledge and interesting informations about the WWII. Facts about Egmond and area,about people who have lived there at that time.
Staff is very friendly and well informed. There's a room where you can see a lot of stuff from WWII (almost smell it) and watch black and white movie.
Specific,original place in one of the bunker in the north coast of Nederland.
Me and my friends,we are the big fans of bunkers so we really appreciate the big job of the people who decided to take care of this bunker.
You all did a really great job!
Keep going!Succes goede mensen

Rijksmonument Prins Hendrikstichting uit 1937

Reviewed By MartijnMulder - Egmond aan Zee, The Netherlands

The monumental building can't be missed when entering the village. Still, most people pass it, without realizing you can enter the building. And for free that is. It houses an amazing collection of boat models and even has its own small museum inside. A hidden gem, not to be missed!

Katholieke Kerk St. Agnes Egmond Aan Zee

Reviewed By bas k - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

De St Agneskerk is een typische 19de eeuwse kerk en staat vlakbij de oudere Nederlands Hervormde Kerk uit 1748.Deze 19de eeuwse katholieke kerken worden waterstaatskerken genoemd omdat de staat de architectuur bepaalde.
De Voorstraat van Egmond aan Zee heeft verder weinig historische gebouwen maar in het museum van Egmond zag ik hoe schilderachtig het eens was.

Hervormde Kerk Egmond Aan Zee

Reviewed By bas k - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Nadat het vorige kerkje in zee verdween werd in 1748 een nieuwe kerk gebouwd.
Nu is het een van de weinige historische gebouwen in het dorp Egmond aan Zee.
Het kerkje is gelegen tegenover de bushalte en heeft een aardig interieur. Ik vond in het museum van Egmond meer informatie over hoe het vissersdorp eens was.
