Noordwijk Lighthouse, a red-and-white striped beacon, has guided ships since the 19th century. Visitors can climb its spiral staircase to an observation deck with sweeping views of the North Sea, sandy beaches, and the nearby dune landscape. The lighthouse also houses a small museum detailing its maritime history and the role of lighthouses on the Dutch coast. It's a peaceful spot for photography and learning about coastal navigation.
