Bergen aan Zee

Where can you find sand, sea and dunes bordered by beautiful old woodlands, all together in one place? Where can you ramble and cycle through the unspoilt countryside and do whatever suits your fancy, be that meandering around, finding an outdoor cafe, sunbathing or leisure shopping? Where can you easily discover peace and quiet, but also cheerful hustle and bustle or impressive art and culture all so close together? The municipality of Bergen has a lot to offer the present-day tourist. Present-day holidaymakers desire variation and Bergen can offer that: the former fishing village of Egmond, with its pleasant beach, outdoor cafes and small shops; the ‘arty’ village of Bergen with an abundance of art and culture and a beautiful beach and the village of Schoorl is perfect for those seeking a more peaceful beach and splendid woodlands and dunes. These are three places of which we can be proud, each with its own identity.

The seaside resort of Bergen aan Zee has a very individual atmosphere, with a sea aquarium and kilometres of beach, with plenty of facilities for a comfortable day on the beach with all the frills but without superabundance. The annual Jazz & Sail Festival is now a nationally known event that, every year, attracts more visitors to Bergen and Bergen aan Zee.
