Feet in the sand, views of the town. Lovely Harderwijk.
The promenade
The promenade is the sort of place where there’s always something going on. You’ll find a variety of cafés and restaurants where you can stop for a drink, lunch or just an ice cream.
Along the quay there are plenty of benches with views over the harbours. It’s certainly pleasantly busy here in the summer: boats mooring, people walking by and a buzz of activity everywhere. It’s the sort of place where you easily sit down for a moment and then end up staying longer than you intended.
With a bit of sunshine, it soon feels as though you’re on holiday, simply sitting on a bench with a view over the water.
Beaches
The beaches in Harderwijk are perfect if you fancy a spot of relaxation by the water. The town beach really stands out. Here you can relax with your feet in the sand and a view of the water.
There’s plenty for children to do, including a playground and trampolines. Meanwhile, you can settle down at Walhalla, the trendy beach bar where you can enjoy a drink or a tasty treat. If you’re arriving by boat, you can easily moor at the jetty at the back.
As well as the city beach, there are more beaches to be found along the water’s edge, heading towards Veluwe aan Zee. Often a bit quieter, but just as lovely if you simply want to enjoy the sun, water and space.
A place where you can easily spend a couple of hours, or even a whole afternoon.
