Spent the last few days playing Ultimate Frisbee on the beach.. specifically on a beach called Hargen. It is actually a tradition with my frisbee association, every summer we head out to Hargen with 15 or so of the Netherlands' finest beach frisbee teams and play a tournament for two days. The tournament is past of a whole series of sporting events Hargen hosts in the summertime, which includes: kite surfing, volleyball, banana boat, and catamaran.

Nearby the beach is the town of Schoorl, which is tiny, quiet, and beautiful. Very near to the beach yet with lots of lush Dutch farmland and unforgettable views. I also notice frequent signs in the front windows of some houses "guest house for rent" and phrases like that in various languages. Schoorl itself also boasts a few fine restaurants and cafés, and alot of quaint nature walks and bike paths (of course).

If you're trying to get to Hargen, start by heading to Bergen, as that is the municipality it belongs to. Both places are worth your time, especially if its Dutch beach fun in the summertime that you seek.
