Nestled in the scenic landscape of Monster in the Netherlands, Sand Engine is a remarkable beach that stretches expansively with its fine, light-colored sand. Not your typical beach destination, Sand Engine is unique because it was specifically designed as an innovative coastal defense project, aiming to naturally strengthen the coastline by letting the sea distribute sand along the shores. As a result, it boasts a long and unusually shaped beach that offers visitors a variety of activities. These range from leisurely walks along the water's edge, bird watching, to more adventurous pursuits like kite flying and swimming, all enveloped in rich natural beauty. Sand Engine has many amenities including restrooms, making it convenient for visitors, but importantly, it does not allow dogs, have facilities for disabled visitors, offer nude beaches, have camping options, or surfing spots, so plan your trip accordingly.
