From Central Station, take the train to Zandvoort aan Zee (leaves at track 1). It is a very short commute, and you can walk to the beach in just a couple of minutes from the station at Zandvoort aan Zee. Perfect for sunny days!

Parks & Nature
Great area outside of Amsterdam, unspoiled nature close to the city! It is a 40 minute bike-ride, but also has parking space when travelling by car. A nice restaurant near the water offers great breakfast/lunch.

Perfect spot to hang out with the locals. Great view next to the water, looking out on the iconic architecture of science museum NEMO. You can have a drink, they often have music, and also they serve lunch & dinner. Not a very elaborate choice, but fine 'pub' quality. Relaxed spot, and very nearby our house.
