Urk Beach

Highlight • Beach

The largest and nicest beach is within walking distance of the iconic Urk lighthouse. It is a very child-friendly beach because the bottom slopes very gradually. Leave your surfboard at home because there is little wave here.

If you fancy a relaxed but no less varied walk through a pretty fishing village, Urk is the place for you. Until 1939, Urk was an island in the Zuiderzee. Although Urk is now part of the mainland, its typical character has been preserved. You will be amazed by the huge harbor and the narrow streets - guaranteed!
