Audio Guide of Almeerder Beach

Almeerderstrand is a public beach open 24 hours a day, so you can visit whenever you like. It is very easy to reach by public transport by getting off at Almere Poort train station, or you can plan your route by car through Visit Almere.

No, access to the beach and promenade areas is completely free for all visitors. However, keep in mind that if you go by car, you will likely have to pay for parking in the designated areas near the shore.

For a relaxed walk and to enjoy the views of the IJmeer, we recommend spending between 2 and 3 hours. If you plan to have a picnic, swim, or visit nearby restaurants, you can set aside half a day to enjoy it without rushing.

This place is a symbol of modern engineering, since Almere is a city built on land reclaimed from the sea through polders. The beach represents the successful integration of natural leisure into a planned city and hosts major cultural events such as the ZAND Beach Festival.

Summer is ideal if you want to swim and enjoy the lively atmosphere, preferably in the morning to find a good spot. If you are looking for photography and calm, spring and autumn sunsets offer spectacular views of the Amsterdam skyline across the water.

Yes, the area has paved paths and a promenade that are accessible for wheelchairs. However, direct access to the soft sand can be difficult without assistance or adapted equipment.

Very close by you will find Muiderzand Marina for sailing enthusiasts and the famous open-air theater Vis à Vis, which offers unique visual performances. You can also explore the modern Almere Poort district and its architecture.

Since it is an open area by the lake, it is often windy, making it a paradise for windsurfing, but we recommend bringing a light jacket. There are also barbecue areas, so bringing your own food is an excellent way to save money.
