De Hondsbosse Duinen; It took two years, between 2014 and 2015, and a lot of effort, but the result is stunning: to anticipate the rising sea levels the the old dike was not simply made higher, but instead was covered with new dunes and a new beach is created. The result is a better protection of the land and an amazing recreational area. Take a bike to cycle along the new dunes or just take a (long) walk along the beach. Start in Petten, end in Camperduin and enjoy the new laguna. Or start in Camperduin and end in Petten with a well-deserved visit to Zee&Zo.
Nature reserve “Zwanenwater” (Swan lake); Swan lake is a large and unique nature reserve, well worth a visit. It is located south of Callantsoog.
West Friese Omringdijk; This dike was build round 400 years ago to protect the area from floods. It was a major undertaking at the time and walking along any part of the dike now, it still leaves a lasting impression. The dike is largely intact and can be walked, cycled or driven by car for most of it’s length.
