FAQ

No, it is not possible to enter the dunes from the parking lot. The dunes are a protected nature area, so you cannot enter just anywhere. You can walk back to the Van Oldenborghweg and enter the dunes from there. Here you will also find a PWN pay-station to purchase the required dunes entrance ticket. You can also purchase your dunes entrance ticket online via https://www.pwn.nl/natuur/duinkaart.

No, caravans are not allowed on the parking lot. You can find a nice spot at Camping Bakkum and continue on to the beach by foot or by bike. 

Horse trailers aren't allowed at the terrain of PaanZEE. 

Certainly, one extra round is permitted. Take your time and don’t drive too fast. 

Absolutely. Directly after you drive onto the parking lot, you will see the parking spots reserved for electric/hybrid cars where the charging stations are located. (note: electric cars only)

Want to be sure if there's a charging station available? Find PaanZEE on the map of https://my.newmotion.com and check before your arrival!
