Beach lovers and fans of water sports make a beeline for Castricum in the Netherlands every summer - and for good reason. This town is not to be missed!

The inland lake of Alkmaar-Uitgeest, which sits a similar number of kilometres to the east of the town, is also a popular destination, offering a range of sailing and windsurfing opportunities. And, with Amsterdam located just 30 to 40 minutes away by train or car, it’s also well-placed for those who wish to explore the Dutch capital during their stay. All you need to do is decide where you’d most like your Airbnb stay to be located - the calm of the beach or the fun and beauty of the lake. Holland is full of amazing accommodations - you can even choose to stay in an Airbnb in Alkmaar, just 20 minutes away, or you can check in at a place in the heart of Castricum.
