In the summer there is nothing as refreshing as water and there is plenty of that in Rotterdam! From the Nieuwe Maas River that flows right through the city to the lively city harbours. In no time at all, you are lying on the beach at Hoek van Holland. This expansive stretch of beach is also part of Rotterdam.

Because of the vastness of the beach at Hoek van Holland, you can find a place with ease and children have lots of space to play. The beach is cleaned daily, and lifeguards keep an eye on safety. It’s no surprise that the beach carries the labels of Quality Coast, Blue Flag and Clean Netherlands.

The beach pavilions - from comfortable cafeterias to upscale and trendy restaurants -  are open twelve months a year and have outdoor heaters. In the evening, the Maasvlakte with its play of multi-coloured lights forms a rather special backdrop. Brand new Landal Beach Villas make it possible to stay on the beach all year round.
