A weekend break in Callantsoog by the sea
Getting away from it all, without travelling far. A weekend break in Callantsoog means two or three days of beach, dunes, fresh air and good company — with a comfortable room within walking distance of everything.
Hotel ’t Zwaantje is a small-scale hotel in the heart of the village. Ideal for couples and for families looking for a short stay by the sea without any fuss.
Weekend programme: three days in Callantsoog
Day 1 — arrive and blow away the cobwebs
Arrive during the afternoon, drop your things in your room and head straight for the sea. A first walk on the beach works wonders. Afterwards, settle down on a terrace in the village centre or enjoy the dish of the day at the hotel. Round the day off nicely with a drink at the hotel bar.
Day 2 — a full day
After enjoying our extensive breakfast buffet, the whole day is yours. A few suggestions:
- A walk through the Zwanenwater, the dune reserve with its dune lakes right next to Callantsoog
- Hire an e-bike at reception and cycle along the coast towards Groote Keeten, Sint Maartenszee and Petten — or take a route to Schagen or Den Helder
- An afternoon on the beach with a long lunch at a beach pavilion
- Shopping and coffee in the village centre
- If the weather is poor: an indoor outing, such as a visit to the Navy Museum in Den Helder — see Callantsoog in bad weather
Day 3 — one last treat
Take your time over breakfast, check out and fit in one more outing on the way home. A visit to Den Helder (Navy Museum, Fort Kijkduin) or the charming old centre of Schagen is practically on your route back.
Why spend a weekend at Hotel ’t Zwaantje?
- Everything within walking distance: beach, village and restaurants
- Small-scale and personal: you are a guest, not a room number
- An extensive breakfast buffet, so you can start the day at your own pace
- A lovely destination outside the holiday periods too
