Amsterdam Water Supply Dunes

Beach & water

Enjoy the peace and vast open space in the Amsterdam Water Supply Dunes. The dune area covers no less than 3,400 hectares and is located between Zandvoort and Noordwijk. Since 1853, two-thirds of Amsterdam’s drinking water has been pre-treated in this area.

In the Amsterdam Water Supply Dunes, you can enjoy various walking routes that lead you along the most beautiful spots in the dunes.

From the age of 18, it is mandatory to purchase a day pass. A day pass costs €1.50 and can be purchased at the card payment machines at the four main entrances, or you can order your day pass online.
