Zandvoort is a lovely resort town in the Netherlands, and there are several Zandvoort must do’s that should not be missed. The town has several beautiful beaches, a racing circuit, and quite an extensive history. You can quite easily visit Zandvoort from Amsterdam or Haarlem.

The beach is the main attraction in Zandvoort. It has beautiful white sand and is perfect for swimming, sailing, surfing or just relaxing. The beach stretches for seven kilometers and contains a nature reserve and a naturalist beach. Along the beach are about thirty-eight pavilions, which provide showers, food and activities for those that have come to the beach. At the very south end of the beach is a three-kilometer stretch that is strictly a nudist beach.

The Zandvoort Casino is right along the beach. This Holland casino is right on the beach in a futuristic, glass-looking building. You can find a lot of different games to play, and there are options for those looking to spend big or those that just have a few Euros to play with. You can find slot machines, American Roulette, Blackjack, Caribbean Stud, and Punto Banco, to name a few.

The Formula 1 Racing Circuit is very famous throughout Europe. The very first race occurred at this circuit in 1939. Eventually, more than 112 hectares of dunes were converted into a racing track that runs four kilometers in length. The circuit is still an exciting place, as there are many races and events that go on throughout the year. Many people make a weekend trip to Zandvoort just for the racing.

At the center of town is the Zandvoort Circus. This is a huge amusement hall built in 1986 that contains all different sorts of electronic games. The circus contains slot machines, a cinema, arcades, and more. There is something for everyone. This is the perfect spot for when the rain drives everyone indoors.

The Zuid-Kennemerland Nature Park is not to be missed, as it encompasses the dune area along the coast of the Netherlands. There are many activities within the par; you can find paths for cycling, hiking, horse riding and even swimming. There are many animals and plants to find, as many animals make their homes in the dunes, peat polders and dune forests. This spot was once wet dune slacks, but much of the ground water was drained away. The country is now trying to re-establish the same groundwater levels.
