Welcome to Sint Maartenszee

Sint Maartenszee, located in the Dutch province of North Holland directly behind one of the widest dune belts of the Dutch coast, unfolds in a landscape where rolling sand ridges, salt-tinted winds and open dune valleys give a holiday in Sint Maartenszee a sensory mix of space and coastal stillness. Travellers staying in a B&B in Sint Maartenszee experience how the paved dune crossings, drifting sands and the scent of beach grass create a natural transition between village and sea. A villa in Sint Maartenszee offers direct access to cycling routes leading toward Petten, Callantsoog and the bird-rich wetlands near the Zwanenwater, where sandy soils gradually shift into moist dune meadows. The idea of a holiday home in Sint Maartenszee becomes visible on footpaths climbing the higher dunes, where panoramic views reveal tidal patterns, skylines of marram grass and distant breakers. Recreation arises around broad beaches suited for long walks, quiet surf zones, dune hikes and cycling loops toward the Hondsbossche coast. Regional coherence appears through Provincial Road N9 and nearby connections toward Schagen’s railway station, linking the area with Alkmaar, Den Helder and the wider coastal region. Every light change across the dunes shapes a new layer of this open maritime landscape.
