Shopping
Noordwijk is a true shopper's paradise. It's no wonder really, as the shopping centre in the Hoofdstraat practically runs all the way to the sea. The Hoofdstraat is the ideal place to shop in a range of (clothes) shops and boutiques.
The
shops range from a flower stall to the HEMA, from the baker to Blokker.
Within historic Noordwijk Binnen the de Kerkstraat is fast becoming a
popular shopping area, mainly due to its centrally located supermarkets.
Surrounding Noordwijk are the big cities of Haarlem, Leiden and the
Hague, where shoppers can shop until they drop.
Practical info
Noordwijk is easily accessible by car and as a rule there are plenty of parking opportunities close to the shops.
