Known forbeach barwaterfrontseasonalstylish
Directions

A stylish seasonal beach bar and lounge on the IJ waterfront in Amsterdam's western harbour area, with imported sand, comfortable seating, and a solid food and cocktail menu. The vibe is relaxed and slightly upscale compared to Blijburg, attracting a 25–40 crowd. It is a smaller venue so it fills up quickly on sunny afternoons — booking ahead or arriving early is advised.
