A colourful spectacle by the sea

Those who visit Julianadorp aan Zee in spring enter a colourful world. From March to May, the vast fields turn into a living painting of brightly coloured tulips, daffodils and hyacinths. And if that is not enough, the neighbourhood also hosts one of the Netherlands' most enjoyable flower festivals, the Flower Days in Anna Paulowna.

What makes Julianadorp aan Zee so special is the unique combination of bulb fields and beach. Where else can you enjoy a vast flower landscape with the salty sea breeze in the background? The contrast between the clear blue sea water and the bright colours of the flowers makes this place perfect for a relaxing spring outing.

🚴‍♀️ Discover the floral splendour by bike or on foot
The best way to admire the bulb fields is by bike or on foot. There are beautiful routes that take you right through the fields, enjoying the fresh sea air and the scent of blooming flowers along the way.
Tip: The Tulip Route Julianadorp is highly recommended. This route takes you past the most beautiful flower fields, picturesque country roads and cosy farm shops where you can buy fresh tulips and regional products.
