Muiderzand marina on the IJmeer in front of Muiden
Marina Muiderzand is a marina located in Almere Poort, on the edge of the Almere dunes. Located on the IJ lake, or IJmeer, it offers boaters easy access to the Markermeer and IJsselmeer. Marina Muiderzand is also very close to the town of Muiden, just 3 nautical miles away on the other side of the IJmeer.
The surroundings of Marina Muiderzand, in Almere
Marina Muiderzand is nestled in the midst of nature. Surrounded by small islands and untamed landscapes, it offers the possibility of exotic cruises and discover unspoilt nature. Birds are everywhere, and they’re sure to impress you!
There are various options for discovering the region by boat, as well as several anchorages where you can stop off: off the Heiland’t Hooft nature reserve, in front of the artificial island of Pampus, at PEN-eiland, opposite the Hoeckelingsdam bank…
If you prefer to set foot on land to discover the surrounding towns and villages, Marina Muiderzand is also a good starting point for exploring the coastal towns of the IJmeer. The Dutch capital, Amsterdam, is well worth a stopover: plan a few days to enjoy the city, stroll through its districts, discover its canals and visit its museums. Then there’s Durgerdam: a small village on the outskirts of Amsterdam, with its pretty, colorful houses overlooking the harbor and its own special charm.
We also recommend a stopover in the historic and picturesque town of Muiden. Here you can visit Muiderslot Castle, one of the best-preserved medieval castles in the Netherlands. Finally, a little further south, on Lake Gooi, or Gooimeer, is the town of Almere. Easily accessible from Marina Muiderzand, it boasts a modern town center and numerous stores.
