Aflevering 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. This episode was narrated using AI technology, with all other aspects op production handled by Break the Wire Concepts. ?? Discover more: holland.com ?? Questions or tips? redactie@holland.com ??
