Dining at the sea
St. Maartenszee has 2 beach pavilions: North and NewSouth. These have an excellent kitchen with delicious dishes. Which do you choose: sole, satay or a delicious main course salad? Fine dining while watching the sun sink into the sea. What more could you want?
The beach pavilions both have a very relaxed, accessible family atmosphere. Children play on the beach while the parents and grandparents enjoy a nice cool (or warm) drink behind the glass. Isn't that exactly the way you envision a holiday?
Of course, the beach pavilions also rent out beach beds, beach chairs, wind screens and even complete beach cabins. Pavilion NewSouth is open all year round, so also in winter, when the waves crash on the beach. You sit wonderfully warm and have a unique, first-class view of this beautiful nature.
The Rescue Brigade keeps an eye out
Safety is paramount. This child-friendly coast has a very active, observant lifeguard. You will find it exactly between the two beach pavilions, in the red building. The excellently trained members of the Rescue Brigade know the beach and the area down to the last detail and are active in the months of June, July and August. You can tell by the waving flag whether the station is manned. Beachgoers can go there for first aid, dangerous situations and information.
The beautiful dunes with beautiful cycling and walking paths
The dunes of Sint Maartenszee, with their forests, dune valleys and a small dune lake, form a unique part of the Netherlands, which has even been named a 'geological monument and natura 2000 area'. This dune strip includes old sea lanes and drift dikes, valleys and dunes. The walk from your holiday home through this breathtaking area takes half an hour. Or three quarters of an hour…. or an hour…. whatever you want! You will always discover new, exciting hiking trails with panoramic views.
Wildrijk nature reserve
The Wildrijk, a stone's throw from Villa Park Anzelhoef, is a unique forest with mixed deciduous trees and rare plants. The forest is small, but very special. Good for a walk of less than an hour, especially in the spring. Then the bottom is covered with a blue carpet of wild hyacinths as far as you can see. In the summer you will find refreshment and in the autumn there are many mushrooms. Bats, woodpeckers and birds of prey inhabit the Wildrijk and occasionally visit our holiday park. The Wildrijk is one of the most beautiful possessions of Landscape Noord-Holland.
Zwanenwater: beautiful reserve
On the north side of the dunes in St Maartenszee, the 600 hectare nature reserve Zwanenwater begins. Here you will find dune valleys full of special plants: a refuge for rare animals. Various guided excursions are organized here until the beginning of August. The entrance to this dune reserve is a little further north near Callantsoog.
Face to face with Galloway cattle in the dunes
Scottish highlanders graze freely in the dune area of Sint Maartenszee. They eat grasses and saplings and thus help to maintain the vegetation in this nature reserve. Special plant species are given space here. When you walk or cycle in this area, there is a good chance that such a special cattle will cross your path. You don't have to be afraid and you can walk by them quietly, but don't pet them or startle them.
