Callantsoof is a former fishing village and is one of the few resorts in the province of Nordholland, which is directly on the sea. The city center has atmosphere with its shops, restaurants and cafes with 'sociable' terraces. For athletes, there are countless possibilities: swimming, fishing, horse riding, tennis, squash, cycling and hiking. Near the village you will find a large part of the dunes of the nature reserve 'Zwanenwater'. This natural protection region has dunes, swamps, lakes and forests of about 550 ha and has the largest egret colony in Europe together with the heron, silver and storm seagulls. The dune belt in the center is small and you can quickly get to the beach. The beach stretches out for kilometres in both directions. At the city exit of Callantsoof you will find the beautiful Zijpener Polder landscape with typical northern Holland farms, wind mills and the most beautiful places to fish.
