It's definitely worth it, especially as Noordwijk's geographical location by the sea is reflected on the menu, with seasonal dishes such as mussels cooked in white wine. Another classic is North Sea crab, which can be enjoyed in a cosy beach chair with a view of the sea. A number of stalls in Noordwijk also offer delicious matjes canapés. Other snacks known throughout Europe include double-fried chips, minced meat rolls called frikandels and Dutch croquettes with various fillings.

Best time for a camping holiday in Noordwijk

The months between June and August are the best time for a camping holiday on the beach. The temperatures on the coast of Noordwijk are then pleasantly warm for swimming in the North Sea. On land, the average daily temperature rises to around 22 degrees Celsius. At midday, the mercury often shows even higher temperatures - but there is usually a light sea breeze, so it never gets uncomfortable.

The North Sea warms up to around 19 degrees Celsius during this time and is ideal for swimming and numerous water sports activities. Sailors, surfers and kiters are also drawn to Noordwijk in spring and autumn due to the good wind conditions. Travelling in April is popular not least because it is the month with the least rainfall of the year. From November to April, it is significantly cooler on the coast. Daytime temperatures then range between 4 and 9 degrees Celsius.
