Are you ready to escape the busy city for a while? Then there is nothing that works better than getting a breath of fresh air on the beach. With this Tour you stroll through the dunes of the Westduin Park for almost 9 kilometers.

The sea is never far away in the dunes. The beaches in the Netherlands can be very busy, but this does not apply to the Zuiderstrand. The beach is not accessible by car, and is therefore a lot quieter than other coastal towns. Walk down towards the soft sand and waves and let the wind blow through your hair.

Once you have given all your thoughts to the wind, you continue your tour through the varied Westduin Park. Exercise your calves in the rolling dunes and enjoy breathtaking views. You can breathe the fresh air in the woods. This way you can get back to it soon!

For those who leave their city bike at home today: the route starts and ends near the Doctor Lelykade bus stop and is therefore also accessible by public transport. Enjoy a snack and drink at one of the catering establishments at the harbor.

Because the entrances to the Zuiderstrand can only be reached on foot or by bicycle, it is a lot quieter than in Scheveningen.

Overtime, a 'short' weekend and a beautiful sunny Saturday. Ingredients to find another round 'in the area' on komoot on Saturday morning to be able to clear my work head. The choice fell on the Westduinpark where I once walked with pleasure on a summer evening. The journey there by bus and tram was ridiculously long for travelling by public …
