Beach Events & Team Building on the Dutch Coast
Scheveningen, Noordwijk and Zandvoort — sea air, dunes and beach venues
The Dutch North Sea coast is less than an hour from Amsterdam and offers something no city venue can: wide sandy beaches, protected dunes and beach clubs built for groups. Scheveningen, Noordwijk and Zandvoort are the three hubs we work with most for summer events, active team building, retreats and incentive programmes that combine city and coast.
Beach venues and hotels
Scheveningen, next to The Hague, has the widest choice of beach pavilions and the Kurhaus, a grand hotel on the boulevard. Noordwijk is home to large conference hotels such as Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin and Hotels van Oranje, ideal for residential meetings with the beach at the door. Zandvoort, 30 minutes from Amsterdam, is the closest beach to the capital and has beach clubs that host groups from 30 to 500 guests.
Team building and outdoor activities
Beach Olympics, blokarting, kite building, surf and SUP sessions, dune hikes with a guide, beach barbecues and sunset bonfires. The coast is also the setting for CSR activities such as beach clean-ups. Activities run from April to October, with indoor alternatives in every venue for the Dutch weather.
Combining the coast with Amsterdam
A typical programme starts with meetings in Amsterdam and ends with a beach dinner in Zandvoort, or spends a full day in Scheveningen with lunch, activities and dinner on the sand. We handle coaches, timings and the plan B for the weather.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the beach season for corporate events in the Netherlands?
Beach pavilions operate from roughly April to October. June to September is the peak period for beach dinners and water activities; spring and early autumn are ideal for active team building without the summer crowds.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Every beach venue we work with has covered or indoor space, and we always build a weather plan into the programme so activities and dinners go ahead whatever the forecast.
