Katwijk Anchorage

✨ Hidden gem

This anchorage sits off Katwijk aan Zee, a classic Dutch coastal town where the Old Rhine meets the North Sea — a genuinely interesting spot to drop the hook. The holding is generally sandy, and you'll want to keep an eye on the weather given the exposed North Sea conditions. From here you can dinghy ashore and explore the town's historic fishing village character, lighthouse, and beach boulevard. It's a no-frills, scenic stop with real Dutch coastal atmosphere rather than any marina comforts.
