Hidden Beaches & Coastal Routes: The Dutch Coastline Uncovered
A fresh sea breeze. Sand between your toes. And a 610 km coastline filled with surprises.
In this fourth episode of Orange Horizons, we take you on a journey along the Dutch coast: from the quiet beauty of the Wadden Islands to the lively shores of Scheveningen and Zeeland. Expect nature reserves, bike-friendly beach towns, UNESCO-protected islands and unexpected seaside culture.
You’ll hear practical tips, local secrets, and travel inspiration to make the most of your next coastal escape. Whether you're into surfing, seal-spotting, cycling or simply doing nothing at all - the Dutch coast delivers.
Here are the beach tips mentioned in this episode:
🚲 Book your bike in advance during high season - e-bikes make even long stretches feel easy.
🧥 Pack layers, even in summer - a windproof jacket can be a lifesaver by the sea.
🏡 Reserve accommodation early on the Wadden Islands - they’re popular, peaceful, and fill up fast.
🌿 Combine coast and nature - for example with walks or cycling through nearby parks like Meijendel or South-Kennemerland.
