When is it better to go

The best time to visit The Netherlands for a beach vacation is typically during the summer months, from June to August. During this period, the country enjoys the warmest weather, with average temperatures ranging from 17°C to 20°C, which can occasionally rise above 25°C.

  • June - The early summer month offers pleasant temperatures and longer days, perfect for enjoying the seaside and getting a head start on the summer crowds.
  • July - As the peak of summer, July brings the warmest weather, ideal for sunbathing, swimming, and engaging in various beach activities. However, it's also the busiest month, so expect more tourists.
  • August - The weather remains warm, and the North Sea is at its most inviting temperature. August is also a great time for water sports and beach festivals.

For those seeking a quieter beach experience, the late spring (May) and early fall (September) can also be good options, with fewer tourists and mild weather, though the sea might be too chilly for swimming. Regardless of when you visit, the Dutch coastline offers a unique beach vacation with charming seaside towns, expansive dunes, and wide sandy beaches.
