Noordwijk is a village situated along the sandy beaches of Holland. It has a beach 13 km. long.

The region is well-known for its beautiful flowers. The sandy soil behind the dunes is extremely suitable for the cultivation of bulbs, and this is why Noordwijk is called the "Floral seaside resort of Europe". In Spring the colourful bulb-fields attract lots of tourists who often combine watching the famous flower parade in April with a visit to the "Keukenhof" in Lisse, a town about 10 km. away. The flowers are at their most beautiful at this time of year.

It is very easy to visit the main cities of Holland because Noordwijk is:

• 25 kilometres from Amsterdam
• 20 kilometres from The Hague
• 40 kilometres from Rotterdam
• 25 kilometres from Schiphol  Airport
