Schoorl aan Zee

On Saturday 3 October, the sea water temperature at Schoorl aan Zee is around 19 degrees, fresh, but still manageable for seasoned swimmers. At this time of year, the beach is considerably quieter than in summer, ideal for a bracing coastal walk. Expect strong winds from the sea, so a windproof jacket is well worth bringing. The sun shows itself less often and UV radiation is low, which means you won't have to worry about sunburn. Take warm clothing with you: it feels considerably fresher than the thermometer suggests. The beach invites you for an invigorating walk along the dunes and across the wide beach, but don't expect deckchair weather.
