Parnassia aan Zee
Start where the land ends. This concrete-cool pavilion perched high in the dunes of Overveen is the perfect spot for a morning espresso and a lungful of salty North Sea air before you hit the road.
Ruïnekerk Bergen
Steer your car north toward Bergen, a leafy village that has lured painters and writers since the 1900s. Park near the ruined 15th-century church, now surrounded by excellent independent boutiques and design shops.
Het Hof Bergen
Tucked away in a historic estate, Het Hof serves a brilliant, vegetable-forward lunch sourced almost entirely from their own biodynamic garden. It’s refined but thoroughly relaxed, with a dining room that feels like a stylish friend's greenhouse.
Buitencentrum Schoorlse Duinen
The road here winds through the highest and widest dunes in the country. Leave the car to stretch your legs among the pine forests and purple heathland, or challenge yourself with a climb up the famous Klimduin.
Strandpaviljoen Hargen
End your drive at this architectural, wood-clad pavilion right on the sand at Hargen. Order a local craft beer, watch the kite-surfers brave the North Sea waves, and enjoy the clean, uncluttered horizon before heading back.
