Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Always clean, relaxed and not crowded even on hot summer days. Nice place to relax and kick back with a corona...

I've now returned several times to the beautiful beach in Castricum, and it never disappoints! Despite the weather being very cold and windy, it was still quite busy on the beach with walkers, cyclists, kite surfers and people visiting the permanent cafes.
I was very lucky to have seen a mass beaching of star fish, and I was also present for the annual New Year's Day swim..... during which hundreds of mad people strip down to their swimmers and hurtle along the beach to throw themselves into the icy water!

A beach with all the resources. The parking is very expensive, if you like to walk you better park before the paid parking spot. The restaurants are nice, the factory in the south is visible, thats less nice.

Plenty of people on the beach the 1st week of September. Sand was white, water tempting and still at a good temperature. Sun still requiring screen and plenty of shells on the beach. One can walk for miles at the waters edge. We loved it. Who hates summer?

The beach of Castricum is a small beach near (Camping) Bakkum and Egmond. There are a few restaurants where you can have lunch and diner. At Club zand you can have breakfast as well. Zoomers, Zeezicht and Deinig are also very child friendly. Zeezicht even provides diapers for your child size 4. There are water sport possibilities as well. Next to Club Zand there small beach houses you can buy or rent and next to those there are locker rooms for frequent visitors to change into your wetsuit and lockers for your personal belongings, unfortunately its not possible to rent those for just a day or week. If you are planning to visit a beach I would definitely recommend Castricum.

Castricum aan Zee offers a broad sandy beach;the beaches become more quiet further away from the main entrance and beach-side restaurants.I enjoyed walking in the surf after a bike-ride through the "Duinreservaat Castricum".

Walk a bit away from the entrance and you'll have plenty of space. Very friendly beach area. Not so much focussed on looks and appearances. Very few hipsters compared to Bergen or Zandvoort. Good places to eat as well.

Ola Natalia,
from Amsterdam you can travel by train (takes 15 or 20 minutes) to Castricum. There you can take the bus to Castricum aan Zee or you take your own bike with you and ride 5-10 minutes through Castricum and than 15 minnutes through a forrest.
At Castricum aan Zee there are free sunbeds and -chairs at the beachbars (but you have to order sth.)
Best regards,
Klaus-Peter
