This nature conservation area, consisting of dunes, marshlands, lakes, and forests, covers approximately 550 hectares and is home to the largest colony of seagulls in Europe, with fish herons, herring gulls, and great black-backed gulls.
Callantsoog is a former fishing village and one of the few seaside resorts in the province of North Holland that are situated directly by the sea. The village center exudes atmosphere with its shops, restaurants, and cafes with 'cozy' terraces. For the active, there are numerous options. The dune belt in the center is narrow, and you can reach the beach in no time. The beach stretches for miles in both directions. At the outskirts of Callantsoog begins the beautiful Zijpe polder landscape with typical North Holland farmhouses, windmills, and the finest fishing spots. © B-Homewithus
