The area surrounding Strandhotel Camperduin offers a wide variety of activities. Thanks to its location, the hotel is an ideal base for varied cycling tours and long walks on the beach or through the dunes. Since 2014, a whole new piece of land has been added in Camperduin. A new piece of land with new dunes, a wide beach and a unique beach lagoon.

This is the new beach and are the new dunes of Camperduin. Since the start of reclamation work on the beach on July 1, 2014, 30,000,000 cubic meters of sand has been deposited and over 14 acres of marram grass planted. The Netherlands has gained 400 soccer fields of new land with this project. The lagoon is the only lake in the Netherlands on a beach. Great for swimming and paddling especially in spring and fall and a unique place for beach activities.
The water in the lagoon moves with the tide. At high tide there can be a very strong current from the sea into the lagoon. When the tide is out, the old breakwaters sometimes resurface. The coastal defenses of North and South Holland are back in order for the next 50 years. The North and South Holland coast can now withstand storms of the heaviest category, which occur on average once every 10,000 years. Also, the widened beach and new dunes offer plenty of opportunities for recreation and nature development. Part of the new beach between Camperduin and Petten is already in full use. Seals have discovered the beach to rest.
