Pampus Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
Drop anchor just off Pampus, a 19th-century Dutch fortress island sitting dramatically in the IJmeer between Muiden and Amsterdam. The holding is good in around 2.5 metres, and the island itself — once a key defence for Amsterdam — is open to explore if you dinghy ashore. It's a genuinely atmospheric spot, with the old fortifications rising straight out of the water and views back to the Muiden castle on the horizon.
