As a seaside resort catering to tourists, there is no shortage of things to do in Zandvoort – many of them active. There are plenty of opportunities to go surfing, stand-up paddle boarding, kitesurfing and other water sports right on the water, while those not in the mood to get wet can bike the coast or hike along the dunes.
If it isn’t exactly beach weather, Zandvoort still has plenty to do: visit the Jutters Mu-ZEE-um to check out some artefacts discovered in the sand by beachcombers, or the Zandvoorts Museum for art and history.

It's a moving experience to visit this museum, which traces Van Gogh's life and development via the world's largest collection of his work, both familiar paintings and wonderful little-known pieces. It's fascinating to see his work change, from tentative beginnings to giddily bright sunflowers, and on to his frenzy of creative brilliance towards the end of his life. There are also paintings by contemporaries Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, Monet and Bernard. You must choose a time slot and prepurchase tickets online.
