Once an old fishing village, Katwijk aan Zee is now extremely popular for a wide variety of water-sports and beach activities and a rented apartment or holiday let in this region allows you to enjoy all the fantastic attractions and ammenities available both in this village and it’s surrounding areas.

The old fishing roots of this village are still very prominent here and the inhabitants are proud of their heritage and traditions. In the village square you will see a statue of a fisherman’s wife and young child, perhaps waiting for husband and father to return from the sea with his catch. This is quite a moving piece depending on how it’s interpreted. A wander round this charming village offers a real insight into how this area used to be many years ago and the canals are well worth a look.

If it’s water-sports that takes your fancy then your Katwijk aan Zee serviced residence or aparthotel provides ideal access to the beach where you can partake in surfing, waterskiing, paragliding or even a spot of kayaking. The windy conditions in this region also make it ideal for windsurfing. For something a little less adrenalin fuelled but equally as enjoyable why not take a boat trip around the harbour and enjoy views of Katwijk and the surrounding areas from the water.

Zeepaviljoen is a really nice beach restaurant where you can refuel and grab a bite to eat after your action packed morning on the water.

If you are lucky enough to be renting a Katwijk aan Zee holiday apartment in August you will be privy to the wonderful Flower Parade. Here you can watch as handcrafted floats, adorned with abundant fresh flowers and foliage, travel through the streets. This is quite a spectacular sight to behold. Remember to take the camera.

You will find some stunning places to take a long leisurely walk in this region. The sand dunes offer plenty of tracks and paths to explore and, if you are lucky, you may even catch a spectacular sundowner on your journey back.

Katwijk offers some wonderful little shops within walking distance of your holiday let or service residence where you will find everything you need from sundries to souvenirs and you have to try some of the locally caught fresh fish, it’s delicious.

La Tapera Restaurant is a great place to round off the day. Here they serve Argentinian cuisine accompanied by funky, Latino music. The décor is stylish, the atmosphere is buzzing and the grilled steaks are just amazing.
