Why choose Langevelderslag after Keukenhof?
It is one of the easiest natural beach combinations with the Bollenstreek. Instead of a busy boulevard, you arrive through the dunes at beach access 27. There is a large parking area, food and drink, family facilities and direct access to a wide North Sea beach. It works particularly well for a late-afternoon walk, dinner or sunset after the flower gardens.
Langevelderslag at a glance
Nature & dunes
A broad sandy beach backed by dunes rather than a built-up boulevard. The atmosphere is generally quieter than in the central beach areas of Noordwijk or Zandvoort.
Families & walkers
Good for beach walks, children, lunch, cycling and a relaxed end to a day around Keukenhof and the tulip fields.
Strandafrit 27
Langevelderslag is the northernmost main beach access in Noordwijk and is also sometimes described locally as the beach of Noordwijkerhout.
How far is Langevelderslag from Keukenhof?
Langevelderslag lies northwest of Keukenhof, on the North Sea coast. The exact travel time depends on traffic, but for most visitors driving from the Keukenhof area it is a short coastal trip of roughly 20 minutes.
That makes it an especially practical choice if you want to see the flowers first and the sea afterwards. On sunny weekends and public holidays, allow extra time because roads towards the coast and the parking area can become busy.
How to get to Langevelderslag from Keukenhof
By car
Driving is the easiest option for most Keukenhof visitors. Navigate to the main Langevelderslag parking area and continue on foot through the beach entrance.
Drive from Keukenhof with Google Maps →By bicycle
The Bollenstreek and the dunes have an extensive cycling network. Depending on your starting point and chosen route, allow roughly 10–14 km each way from the Lisse/Keukenhof area.
In spring this can be a beautiful combination of flower fields, countryside and coast.
Check the live route
Public transport is possible, but Langevelderslag is not as convenient by train or bus as Zandvoort. Services can be seasonal and may involve walking. On busy beach days buses can also be crowded.

The current municipal tariff for the parking area is:
| Parking period | Current tariff |

Where to eat at Langevelderslag
You do not need to drive into Noordwijk for lunch or a snack. Several food options are grouped around the beach entrance, ranging from a full restaurant to fries, fish, pizza, sandwiches, coffee and ice cream.
Nederzandt
The largest restaurant and beach venue at Langevelderslag. It is suitable for coffee, lunch, drinks or dinner and is also a convenient choice for families.
Buhay Beach
A relaxed stop behind the dunes for coffee, juices, sandwiches and pastries. It also serves as the collection point for the electric Rolrups beach wheelchair.
Hoogies
A casual takeaway-style option if you want something quick before or after the beach.
Bella Bella
A family-friendly beach café-restaurant known for an easy summer atmosphere. Reservations are not normally taken.
Opening hours can change with the season and weather. Always check the restaurant's current information before travelling specifically for a meal, especially in winter or during stormy weather.
Langevelderslag with children
Langevelderslag is particularly attractive for families because Speelzandt, a free nature playground, is located in the dunes close to the beach entrance. It is open seven days a week, all year, from sunrise to sunset.
There is also a Pannenkoekenkasteel at Speelzandt. It opens on suitable weather days rather than to fixed year-round hours, so check the current status before promising children a pancake stop.
The wider area is ideal for combining a beach walk, dunes and playtime without having to move the car.
Discover Speelzandt
Speelzandt is a natural adventure playground for children up to 12 years old. Entry is free, there are climbing and balancing structures made from natural materials, and families can also walk the 4 km Duinkabouterpad through the dunes.

Beach beds and summer beach service
During the beach season, beach beds and other beach setups are available in the Langevelderslag area. Nederzandt Beach operates seasonal beach facilities and food or drinks can be ordered from the beach via QR service when available.
Availability is weather- and season-dependent, so if a beach bed is important to your visit, check the current beach operation shortly before arrival.
Accessibility
Langevelderslag has several facilities that make a beach visit more accessible. Buhay Beach is the collection point for an electric Rolrups beach wheelchair, which can be reserved in advance. A floating WaterWheels beach wheelchair is also available at Nederzandt.
Discover the Strandrups Noordwijk
The Strandrups is a specially designed vehicle that takes people with reduced mobility and wheelchair users on an approximately one-hour guided ride along the Noordwijk beach. It departs from Langevelderslag during its beach season and can carry wheelchair users together with companions.

The entrance area is being redeveloped to improve accessibility, including step-free routes, accessible public toilets, seating, bicycle parking and clearer separation between walking and cycling routes.
Visiting during Keukenhof 2027? The municipality expects the full redevelopment of the Langevelderslag entrance area to continue until around the end of May 2027. Visitors in March, April and early May may therefore encounter works or temporary routing. Follow local signs on arrival.
Dogs at Langevelderslag
Dogs are welcome, but the rules depend on the season and exact beach section. At the main Langevelderslag section, dogs must be kept on a leash from 1 June through 31 August. During the lower season there is more freedom, although the nearby Noordvoort nature section has stricter rules.
Always check the signs at the beach entrance because the coastline is divided into different zones. Local rules also require owners to clean up after their dogs where applicable.
Naturist beach north of Langevelderslag
Visitors planning a long walk north should know that an official naturist beach begins a little north of Langevelderslag, between beach posts 73.000 and 74.000. The main family beach at access 27 is separate from this section.
Walking, cycling and nature
The approach to Langevelderslag runs through the dunes, making the beach a good starting point for a longer walk or cycle ride. The surrounding coastal landscape connects with the wider dune areas north of Noordwijk.
For Keukenhof visitors, cycling can be especially attractive in spring: the route can combine flower fields, the Bollenstreek countryside and the North Sea in a single day.
Kitesurfing
There is a designated public kite zone roughly 500 metres south of beach access 27, near Radio Nora. This is a specific entry/exit zone for kitesurfers and there is no general lifeguard supervision in that zone. Visitors should follow the local signs and water-sports rules.
Swimming in the North Sea
You can swim at Langevelderslag, but North Sea conditions can change quickly. Water temperatures are often cold during the Keukenhof season, and currents, wind and waves can be stronger than they appear from the beach.
Always follow warning flags and local instructions, keep children closely supervised and avoid swimming far from shore in uncertain conditions.
What time does Langevelderslag Beach open?
The beach itself has no entrance gate and no normal opening hours. You can visit the coastline early in the morning, during the day or for sunset. Restaurants, the playground, seasonal beach services and shops have their own opening hours.
How much time do you need?
For a simple beach walk after Keukenhof, allow around 1.5–2 hours. If you want lunch or dinner, time at Speelzandt, a longer dune walk or sunset, 3–4 hours gives you a much more relaxed visit.
