The picturesque and idyllic Frisian town of Makkum offers a variety of shopping options for daily needs - supermarket, butcher, bakery, drugstore, fishing store, flower shop, bookstore, hairdresser, doctor, pharmacy, etc. Boutiques, fine restaurants, snack bars, and lovely cafes in the town itself and along the beach promenade complete the offerings, and there is something for every taste. Not far from the lock at the small harbor and opposite the shipyard is a very popular fish snack bar - for example, "Kibbeling" is very tasty and a must-try. Between the chalet park and the beach promenade lies the beautiful marina "Marina Makkum" and the restaurants "Beaufort" and "Thuishaven," which are very popular with us, guests, and locals alike.
Water sports enthusiasts will find a paradise in Makkum and the surrounding area (kiteboarding, sailing, surfing, catamaran, jet skiing, boating, etc.). How about, for instance, a course at the kite school "NorthWest-Kiteboarding" based in Makkum?
The towns of Sneek, Workum, Bolsward, Harlingen, Hindeloopen, and Giethoorn are also very worth seeing and simply Frisian beautiful. Amsterdam can be reached in a good hour by car via the Afsluitdijk. Or how about a trip to the island of Texel?
