Exercising at the Beach: Running, Yoga and Fitness in Bloemendaal aan Zee

April 9, 2025
Bloemendaal

Whether you’re here to relax or recharge, the coast does something special to your body and mind. Bloemendaal aan Zee offers space – to move, to sweat, to pause. Go for a run through the dunes, stretch out with a yoga session on the beach, or visit a local gym to stay on track with your routine.

Running by the sea

There’s nothing quite like a coastal run. From soft sand to winding dune trails and endless sea views – this is not your average workout. Start at the beach entrance and head into the Zuid-Kennemerland National Park. You’ll find a variety of trails suited to beginners and seasoned runners alike.

Tip: Run during low tide for firmer sand and easier footing.
