Though not as grand as its neighboring beach resort, Zandvoort, this little seaside retreat, with its sand dunes and icrecream vendors, is a pleasant way to spend a warm Dutch afternoon. At the beach, surfing, kite flying and dog-walking are all permissible. There are also numerous walking paths and bicycling paths that lead you up and down the coast. Nationaalpark de Kennemerduinen is located on the southern edge of Bloemendaal-Aan-Zee and is filled with a delightful mixture of pine woods and dunes. To reach, take the train from Amsterdam to Haarlem, and then catch bus 81 to Bloemendaal-Aan-Zee. Bikes can be hired in nearby Zandvoort.
