8 juni 2023Door Fleur de Jong3 min lezenTRAVEL & LEISURE

This weekend promises to be tropically warm. To escape the city heat, MASTERS shares some of the many water-rich addresses in Amsterdam. Put the bathing suit and sunglasses in the bag: you're in for a treat this weekend – but don't forget the sunscreen... 

Swimming beach Sloterplas

The Sloterplas Beach is located on the northwest side of the Sloterplas. Beach chairs, umbrellas, food trucks, picnic tables and even a real beach volleyball court. There is also a water sports center nearby, so taking a SUP board, pedal boat or canoe onto the lake is also an option. Plenty to do, but more importantly an excellent place to cool off. It is wise to check the water quality before your visit this website. The municipality warns that the water is not always of good quality.

plek

For a holiday feeling in your own city, this is an excellent place to spend a day. Relaxation is of paramount importance here. The trendy waterfront restaurant has a kitchen that is open all day. You can have dinner, lunch, but also just for a drink here. Small tip; Be sure to come early, because spots are scarce on a sunny day.

Cape

On a fertile edge of our capital, this city beach - in its own words - swings the gates wide open to a free haven of uninhibited entertainment and sustainable enjoyment. In addition to the cocktails and wines, Kaap offers a special menu. During your beach day you can enjoy a casual snack or an extensive meal here.

Brediusbad

Would you rather cool off in a swimming pool? The Brediusbad is located in a quiet and green area on the edge of the Spaarndammerbuurt. Also good news for those who have cold feet: the bath is heated.

Beach South 

An oasis of peace, the feeling of coziness and summer. You will find Strandzuid in a surprising place behind the RAI Amsterdam, on the water. The ultimate place for a special beer on the terrace, sunbathing in the middle of the city or a dinner during a sultry summer evening.
