Nothing beats a day at the beach with your dog: the fresh sea air, the sand under your feet and a happy four-legged friend running through the waves. Unfortunately, not all beaches are dog-friendly. Fortunately, there are places where dogs are welcome all year round - without seasonal restrictions.
1. Kijkduin - The Hague, South Holland.
In Kijkduin, your dog is allowed to run free all year round. The wide beach offers space to run, romp and swim. Handy: parking is free at the end of Machiel Vrijenhoeklaan.
2. Noordwijk - South Holland
Noordwijk is a real hotspot for dog lovers. Many beach bars welcome four-legged friends and dogs are also allowed in the dunes. Perfect for a day of beach fun and a drink in the sun.
3. Schiermonnikoog - Friesland
On Schiermonnikoog, dogs are allowed all year round on most beaches. Because the island is car-free, you can enjoy walking or biking with your dog and fully enjoy peace and nature.
4. Strand Westerschouwen - Burgh-Haamstede, Zeeland
This wide beach is one of the few in Zeeland where dogs are also welcome in the summer. Between 10:00 and 19:00 they must be leashed, but beyond that they are allowed to run free. Ideal for an early morning or evening walk.
5. Kennemerstrand / IJmuiderslag - North Holland.
At this beach near IJmuiden, dogs are allowed to run free all year round south of beach post 57.5, around the Kennemermeer lake and in the dunes. Perfect for dogs who love freedom!
Remember to bring a bag for excrement and be considerate of other beachgoers. And don't have a dog of your own but want to enjoy it? Find a nice
dog sitter by the sea via Petbnb and have a wonderful beach day together!
