Discover the raw beauty of IJmuiden!
IJmuiden is a place of raw beauty. The harbour and its industry lend it a bit of an edge; the beach is ideal for adventurous wind and water sports. Its wide dunes are dotted with bunkers and every once in a while a gigantic containership passes by on the horizon. There are harbours, the impressive North Sea locks and countless fishing boats, yachts and ships. IJmuiden’s raw beauty shines in all weather (in fact, a storm rolling in actually makes it extra special)! Lean back, enjoy a fresh seafood dinner and enjoy the view.
