Still, I’m very happy I went there, even though the moment I got off the bus I had an impression that I’ve just found the Dutch “middle-of-nowhere” – there was not one person in sight! Well, they don’t know what they’re missing - there’s a gorgeous, huge beach, a picturesque yacht port and of course Zuidpier – a 2,5km long pier you can walk along all the way till the end. Huge industrial ships are passing by, sailing into the inland harbor port. Next to the beach is a large park with a lake and extensive dunes – great walking and water sports area. See for yourself!
Have you ever heard of IJmuiden? No? Well, I’m not really surprised, it’s not exactly on the list of Top-25 places to see in the Netherlands. I went there last Saturday only because it’s supposed to be a good birding spot, but unfortunately the birds failed to turn up :-(
