Well prepared for the beach!

The municipality of Bergen boasts a beautiful 24-kilometer beach. Young and old alike enjoy it.

Download the brochure "Well prepared for the beach" here.

Go to the beach well prepared... losing sight of your child... rip currents in the sea. Both are unpleasant and dangerous situations that regularly occur during a day at the beach. What can you do to be well prepared for the beach?

Where are the (most dangerous) rip currents? Download the Egmond Lifeguard Egmond app for an up-to-date overview! The app is available for both Apple and Android, and you'll find all the important beach safety information. Download the app on your phone so you can consult it directly on the beach.

The beach is divided into different zones and are indicated by colors:

Yellow - sunny beaches

Orange - activity beaches

Pink - nudist beaches

More is allowed in winter than in summer. For example, your dog is allowed to run off-leash in certain areas and during certain times during the summer, but in winter, your dog is allowed to run off-leash at all times and on all beaches.

Summer period - May 1st to October 1st

Winter period - October 1st to May 1st
