Beach

😠 The beach closed down in October 2018, regret not checking first on Google after a 16km bike ride from Amsterdam West to get here 😂 the former site is now full of construction equipment.

    Very nice beach. You have a nice view of part of Amsterdam. Unfortunately the half is closed and you cannot go to the other end of the beach. It's very clean there

    Nice sea beach but as on 10/03/2020 it was under construction, so no one is allowed to enter into the Sea. No swimming, No Surfing..!! Hope it will be open for all soon..

    I was in the area for work, and since the weather was quite warm, I brought swimwear and a towel. Took a dip after work. Lovely water, only a lot of vegetation below the waterline, so that after swimming a few meters I already had strings between my fingers and toes. Nicely refreshed as well. We lay on a towel for a while and sandblasted because it was a bit windy, so we left again after about an hour. Nice beach, in the middle of Amsterdam!

    This specific site on google is closed. However less than 500meters away is an open wide beach which has the Japanese restaurant mentioned in other comments and water sports. The photos i added are from that site, just a few cms to the left on the map.

    It's nice and clean and can be reached by tram + 15 minutes on foot. On the right a shop with fresh fruit looked really good. Small section of beach, the rest is closed to children, separated swimming area. As always, unfortunately no shower, which is a bit stupid when you have to take the tram all over the city. I can't understand a shower wouldn't be a problem. Water was almost not salty no jellyfish. No trash really great!

    The beach was nice but nothing special. However, we were very pleasantly surprised by the dispensers where you can get sunscreen for free - very cool thing! By the way, they are very common on the beaches in Holland. Other countries could certainly take a lesson from this.

    13Km from Cs Amsterdam, family beach, quite big beach, nothing for young let’s say music, bars etc. Just a big beach with shallow waters for kids and families. There is a lifeguards around all times to help etc

    It's a bit unclear what the intention is here. Parking is also expensive. A nice city beach in itself, but it seems not to be completely finished yet...

    Very nice and big beach. Water is pretty shallow, but quite warm, so not very swimming friendly, but it's perfect for a family/group day at the beach. Not many stores around, bring snacks and other things from home or buy them in IJburg(from the last markt there is a 10 minute walk to the beach).

    Nice vibe to this place although the day we visited was super busy and the beach area was packed. There had been a festival the day and night before and a large part of the beach was closed off. It's on the tip of the furthest island in Amsterdam so it is a bit of a trek by bike and even the tram from the centre takes a while. Overall pretty good.

  • 1/5 Georgio_BG 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Parking much too expensive € 3.50 hour, what can I do with my family in the open-air swimming pool, then get off cheaper. The security guards are also busy checking. So my conclusion for a 2.5 hour drive and Dan also poorer in the wallet at the end of the day. It is better to look for something else and not be seduced by all the pictures here, like I did. And the free parking space was freely invented by a user. You won't find that anywhere, peace out (Original) Parken viel zu teuer 3,50€std, was soll dass kann gleich mit meiner family ins freibad gehen,komme dann günstiger davon.die wachmänner auch fleißig am kontrollieren. Also mein fazit für 2,5std fahrt und Dan auch am tagesende armer im Portemonnaie. Lieber was anderes suchen und nicht sich hier von den ganzen Bildern verführen lassen, so wie ich es getan hab. Und die kostenlose parkplätze hat ein Nutzer sich frei erfunden. Die gibt's da nirgendwo.peace out

    Make a floor of colourful stones or white marble upto the two borders in water. And if possible then place a water filtration system to free water from germs and dirt.

  • 5/5 Xander B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It has turned out to be a bit strange but still ideal. Milling a piece of Ijsselmaar and building houses on it. Very strange shapes of houses, floating houses or a flat. But it looks like an ordinary residential area. But of course it is not. You can easily get on your bike and before you know it you will be next to the Muiderslot. Enough nature and recreation options. This way you can relax on the beach of IJburg. Very cozy place where it is good to stay. #xanderbw (Original) Het is wat raar maar toch ideaal gebleken. Dempen van een stukje Ijsselmaar en er huizen op bouwen. Hele vreemde vormen van huizen, drijvendehuizen of een flat. Maar het oogt als een gewone woonwijk. Maar dat is het natuurlijk niet. Je kan makkelijk op de fiets en voor je het weet sta je naast het Muiderslot. Genoeg natuur en recreatie mogelijkheden. Zo kan je heerlijk chillen op het strand van IJburg. Hele gezellige plek waar het goed vertoeven is. #xanderbw

    (Translated by Google) Although it is a lake, it was the same as the sea. It's wide and beautiful. I think that the image is Lake Biwa, but since it has a more beachy feel than Lake Biwa, the sea is closer. It's a sandy beach, so even if you make a mistake, you can't go in by car. If you stack like a child, it will be difficult to escape. The beach area is very small due to the large-scale construction currently underway, so let's look forward to 2021! (Original) 湖ですが海と同じでした。広くて綺麗です。イメージは琵琶湖なのだと思いますが琵琶湖よりビーチ感があるのでやっぱり海の方が近いです。ガッツリ砂浜ですので間違っても車で侵入しては行けません。子の様にスタックすると脱出するのが大変です。 現在大掛かりな工事中なのでビーチ面積が非常に小さくなっているので2021年に期待しましょう!

  • 3/5 Edvin K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) small section for visitors currently (19.08.) open, clean, but construction fences and construction work around it. Not the most beautiful beach but close to town, the water was quite clean and pleasant. Access free of charge, but parking is a hefty 3.50 € / hour. (Original) kleiner Abschnitt für Besucher zur Zeit (19.08.) offen, sauber aber drum herum Bauzäune und Bauarbeiten. Nicht der schönste Strand aber stadtnah, Wasser recht sauber und angenehm.

  • 3/5 Ayscherella Kül K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Parking is free. I think it's really a shame that rubbish is left behind. A mother in color lets her son pee down in the middle of the sea and nobody says anything. Although I called Hello, she didn't want to hear me. Simply disgusting. It would be nice if there was a view and there would be no such thing. (Original) Parken ist Kostenlos. Ich finde es wirklich schade das da Müll hinterlassen wird.Eine Mutter farbich lässt ihren Sohn mitten ins Meer pinkeln schlüppi runter und keiner Sagt etwas.Obwohl Ich gerufen habe Hallo wollte sie mich nicht hören.Einfach ekelhaft.Es wäre schön wenn da eine Aussicht wäre und soetwas nicht gäbe.
