Nature
Schoorlse Duinen
The Schoorlse Duinen (Schoorl dunes) hold the highest dune in the Netherlands: the Catrijper Nok, 55.4 metres, with a staircase of 249 steps to the top. The area belongs to Staatsbosbeheer, is open all year round and has more than 60 kilometres of walking paths.
Klimduin
The Klimduin is a dune 51 metres high and roughly 110 metres long, in the middle of the village of Schoorl on the edge of the Schoorlse Duinen (Schoorl dunes). There is no entrance fee, and since May 2025 a bronze statue of Teun de Jager has stood at its foot.
Hondsbossche Zeewering
The Hondsbossche Zeewering is a 5.5 kilometre dyke between Camperduin and Petten, raised to delta height in 1981: 11.5 metres above NAP. Since the reinforcement of 2013-2015 the basalt dyke lies entirely under the sand, with a beach and dune area 300 metres wide in front of it.
