It stands at 38 meters tall and is one of the oldest lighthouses in the country. The lighthouse is still in use today and guides ships along the North Sea coast. Tourists can climb to the top of the lighthouse for a stunning view of the surrounding area, including the North Sea, the town of Katwijk, and the dunes. However, visitors should be aware that the lighthouse is only open to the public on certain days and times, so it is recommended to check the schedule beforehand.
