IJmuiden is a place of raw beauty. Rugged because of its port and industry. With adventurous beaches where there is plenty of room for wind and water sports. With wide dunes full of bunkers and a sea where an enormous ship always disappears along the pier at the horizon. With rough harbours, a huge lock complex and many fishing boats, yachts and ships. It is a unique place to feast your eyes, eat fresh fish and experience, even when it is stormy: IJmuiden is Raw at Sea!
