Club Zand is a very cozy beach restaurant/cafe in Castricum. It sits right on the beach and is open all year. In the winters they have live music on Friday nights and a special deal for snacks and drinks. The staff are attentive, the food and drinks come out very quickly and it's very cozy (and big!) - three separate rooms, one with two fireplaces plus a nice outdoor patio with umbrellas. I thought the food was standard Dutch fare - pizzas, the non-nacho nachos, some salads - but my friends who live in Castricum said it was better than the other beach bars in the area they usually visit. Definitely worth a stop in :) read more
