Schoorl dunes in the rain

Nov 2, 2026

19 km · 4 h 10 · mostly sand

Forecast said showers. It meant one long shower with short breaks. The highest dune in the area is not high, but in wind it feels like it.

Route

From Schoorl village up through the pine strip, out to the beach at Groet, north along the waterline, back inland through the open dunes.

Walking on wet sand by the water is far easier than the soft stuff higher up. Use the tide.
