Strand IJburg

Strand IJburg is a lovely city beach in Amsterdam Oost, which is part of Strandeiland, the largest island of the IJburg archipelago. Nice weather? Leave the busy city centre and discover a new part of Amsterdam for swimming, sports and relaxing. Bring your picnic basket and your BBQ, because you can barbecue on IJburg beach!

What is there to do?

At Strand IJburg you can enjoy the beach, swim, play volleyball, skate, play football or take lessons in supping or surfing. There is an information centre about IJburg, a shop and a restaurant.
