Noordwijk aan Zee

View from the dunes into Noordwijk aan Zee. The town was founded around 1200 as a fishing village. During the 19th century tourism replaced fishing as its primary income.


Nowadays it is a popular resort town with over a million overnight stays per year.

  9. Een vissersplaatsje is het niet meer zo te zien, maar wel lekker dicht bij zee.
