The downside is that there is only one payment terminal. But you can also buy a day ticket online in advance, then you no longer have to go to the payment terminal.
Visitors seem to have no problem with the parking fee. 2 euros for two hours or 6 euros for a day ticket. “Take your car to the beach at Zandvoort,” Brouwer jokes. By which he means that the six euros is not that bad. He hopes that the parking proceeds will benefit the recreation and nature reserve.
At two o’clock P1 and P2, where paid parking applies, are completely full with a thousand cars. You can still go to P3 for free, but then you have to walk one and a half kilometers, explains Tijmes. Not so cool with a cool box, parasol and a bunch of whining children. But P3 is not that big with 250 places and at half past two it is also full there. So while one can already make a nice splash, the other is still in a traffic jam to get to the swimming pool, probably in vain.
