Amsterdam has 5 temporary summer beaches:
1) Blijburg aan Zee
This is a sandy beach on the new IJburg Island terrain. There is a beach café and a lifeguard.
2) Strand West
This is a wide sandy beach with a view over the IJ. There is the Cantina Mobilé restaurant and a lot more.
3) Amsterdam Plage
This is a small beach along the Silodam, a dam that streches into the IJ at the Stenen Hoofd.
4) NEMO Summertime
NEMO at the Oosterdok is a well-known museum and the view from the rooftop is great. Add some sand and water and it becomes even more delightful.
5) Strand Zuid
The harbour of the RAI Exhibition center has been changed into a beach with hammocks and terrasses. The A10 highway is not the best view, but you can enjoy the sun.
