The beach Schoorl is only accessible by bicycle. The route through the dunes is breathtaking, with about twenty minutes of cycling you arrive at the sea. If you prefer to go by car, Hargen aan zee and Camperduin are highly recommended. Bergen aan zee is very busy during the high season and often the parking places are quickly occupied. Of course you can also choose the beautiful cycling routes through the dunes or via Bergen center.
