Badstrand Rockanje

Badstrand Rockanje is a wide beach along the North Sea coast with expansive sandy shores and gradual slopes into the water. The area stretches over several kilometers with different zones that offer various facilities and serve different purposes.

The area served as a strategic coastal defense location during the 20th century, and remnants from this period remain visible in the landscape. Some structures become exposed at low tide, revealing traces of this earlier military use.

The beach is divided into different sections, each attracting different types of visitors and creating distinct social spaces. Each area has developed its own character based on who uses it and what activities happen there.

The beach has multiple access points with parking and dining options nearby. The best time to visit depends on your activity preference, since different sections offer varying conditions and visitor experiences.

Natural sandbanks offshore create sheltered swimming zones by reducing wave height in certain areas. This feature makes the location particularly popular with families looking for calmer water conditions for younger swimmers.
