Proud to be 'Best Beach'
In January 2017, National Geographic published a list of the 21 most perfect beach destinations on the planet. Noordwijk is mentioned as number 13 in this popular list, something of which this seaside resort is truly and enormously proud. The magazine is of the opinion that this is thanks to the fact that Noordwijk is beautifully situated between tulip fields and the cities of Amsterdam and The Hague. National Geographic also refers to the dog-friendly nature of the seaside resort: not all beaches in the world have a separate beach for dogs and special walking trails where you can go walkies with your hairy friend.
