something for everyone.

Would you like to stay at Hotel Amerika? Then it is good to know that there is a lot to see and do in Hoek van Holland and the immediate vicinity. The wide North Sea beach, for example, is a real crowd puller in all seasons: for sunbathing, walking or cycling through the dunes or enjoying the view from one of the beach pavilions.

Hoek van Holland has a rich history, especially during the war years. There are still many tangible memories of that time in the village, such as the bunkers and the Atlantic Wall museum. Even older is Fort 1881, an old armored fort that was built to protect Rotterdam from the violence of war. The three impressive gun turrets and an underground tunnel system are more than worth a visit.

The Nieuwe Waterweg with the world-famous Maeslantkering is also a must see. It is the final part of the Delta Works, intended to keep the Netherlands dry during heavy storms. Rent a bike and combine a trip along the water with a visit to the Westland with many hectares of greenhouses with vegetables and flowers. You can also find these flowers in the flower auction of Naaldwijk, where you can book a tour. Also recommended is the crossing with the fast ferry to the second Maasvlakte. Note: on the way you will pass a seal colony!

A few kilometers outside Hoek van Holland begins the Staelduinse Bos. An oasis of peace and a wonderful forest for a walk. Prefer to seek out the hustle and bustle? Around Hoek van Holland are well-known cities such as The Hague and Rotterdam with shops, museums and architecture. And for those who want to see the Holland of the past: visit the canal city of Delft. From Hoek van Holland you can plan many more fun day trips.

SURROUNDINGS

what to do.

Of course, we are most proud of our beautiful coastline, with its beautiful wide beach.
Take a lovely long walk through the dunes and on the beach. Let the wind blow through your hair, walk along the surf (pay attention to the waves), look at the enormous (sea) ships, look for beautiful shells... all throughout the year!

The coast in Hoek van Holland is ideal for water sports activities such as surfing, kiting, paddleboarding and sailing. There are various parties where you can rent equipment. Would you rather not do it yourself? Then get to know one of the spectacular water activities under the guidance of an instructor.
The 'Hoekse' beach at the Rechtestraat in particular is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts. You can take lessons, rent outfits and equipment at De Surfschool en Surfschool Hoek van Holland. Windsurfing association Hoek van Holland and the Kitesurfing school are also located on this stretch of beach and in addition to two beach pavilions, you will also find the Central Lifeguard Post here. In terms of facilities, you will find showers, toilets and a bicycle shed on this beach.

Check live webcams for the weather in Hoek van Holland.

The playground association Hoek van Holland, better known as ‘de Waterspeeltuin’, can be found on Prins Hendrikstraat in Hoek van Holland. Children can enjoy climbing, clambering and sliding here and cool off nicely in warm weather while playing in and with the water features. Children can enjoy themselves for hours in a safe environment and parents/guardians can relax on the terrace or the grass. There is something for everyone in the kiosk in terms of coffee/tea, soft drinks, chips and ice cream.

During the season, fun extra activities are organised every month, such as crafts and face painting.
All in all, a fun afternoon out for the whole family!

A visit to the Hoek van Holland Children's Farm is a fun outing with children. They learn how to interact with animals in a playful way. In the spring, children can help bottle-feed the lambs. They can also help feed the chickens, pigeons, other poultry and rabbits. Meet donkeys, ponies, goats and dwarf goats, sheep, peacocks, ducks, chinchillas, two pot-bellied pigs and all kinds of other animals.

For all kinds of events, exhibitions, fun festivals and concerts, we refer you to the agenda of Hoek van Holland
