Beach clubs

Everywhere on the beach you can stake out a spot on the sand for free but why not enjoy the comfort of our beach clubs. These are wooden pavilions that run along the shore with enclosed restaurants, outdoor patios, and rows of chaises longues for sunbathing. These beach clubs open early each morning, close at midnight, and are in service from March until September.

However Zandvoort does have a few beach clubs that are open all year. Each beach club offers a distinct personality and food (from breakfast to diner) with themes ranging.
