One of the most popular tourist destinations in North Holland is the town of Castricum and its surrounding array of beaches, lakes and forests. The town itself isn't a particularly amazing place, but it does have a typical Dutch atmosphere, a nicely organised layout and plenty of amenities to serve the needs of the legions of tourists who flood into the area during summer. Castricum hotels can be found both within the town limits as well as along the coast and the shore of the lake. Water sports such as kite sailing, windsurfing and other beach activities are popular here. An impressive area of sand dunes stretches back from the sea, providing another great place for walks and quiet relaxation. Lake Alkmaar-Uitgeest is the other main body of water near Castricum that attracts visitors. With four trains per hour to Amsterdam, just 28 minutes away, it's easy to reach this fun and scenic coastal town.
