From Monday, July 27 to Saturday, August 1, 2026, you can participate in the Strand6Daagse: a unique walking and camping experience along the Dutch coast. You will walk along vast sandy beaches for six consecutive days, enjoy the sea and dunes, and experience an active holiday like never before.
145 kilometers of walking along water and sand
The route runs from Hoek van Holland to Den Helder and totals approximately 140 km, divided into six stages of approx. 33, 18, 31, 24, 27, and 14 km. Along the way, you will sleep in your own tent at campsites provided by the organization in cooperation with local associations.
Everything is well arranged, you walk alone
You do not have to carry your own luggage: the organization transports it to the next campsite every morning. A hot meal is served daily, and packed breakfasts, lunches, coffee, tea, and fruit are provided. This allows you to focus fully on hiking and enjoying the experience.
