Great sushi and self bbq! Casual atmosphere in the centre of Alkmaar. Normally we do not like 'all you can eat' but this is a good one.

The beach at Egmond aan Zee is the closed beach from Heiloo. It is 10 minutes by car or 25 minutes by bike. It is a long and wide beach with a couple of (not very good) beachrestaurants. We always bring your own food.

Same beach as Egmond aan Zee but a little further from Heiloo (20 minutes by car and 40 minutes by bike). There are some nice beachclubs like Hemmingways and De Jongens. The food here is most of the time quite good. Parking can be very difficult on sunny summer days, also in Egmond. So consider, going by bike or go very early.
