Very nice section of the dune cycle path - at least for me not as populated as, for example, the section between Zandvoort and Noordwijk

The benches around the mill are a great place to enjoy your ice cream, which you can buy across the street at Martino's

Nice bike path, but the view isn't necessarily great! It can get very busy on the bike path, so keep that in mind.
