Paviljoen Noordkust in Wijk 04 Bakkum

I have been coming to Camping Bakkum for well over 40 years. We always go there to the sea and used to love visiting Marcel's beach tent. Since this tent was taken over, it has been a culinary disaster and the prices are truly outrageous. The food is also often inedible, just not tasty. And there is nothing left of the cozy atmosphere. Even back when Danny was there, it was still pleasant and bearable. Now it is just a container on the beach that you’d rather walk right out of. Misery!

A very nice, small-scale pavilion by the beach in Bakkum. Great menu, always friendly service. We love coming here!!

The food is very good and attractively presented. The staff was also very friendly! The peaceful atmosphere and the direct view of the sea are very inviting. We'll be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Simple but cozy. Delicious snacks: we had a mixed platter of bitters and apple pie. Pleasant music. We'd love to come back.

Great place, terrace a bit small unfortunately

We had lunch here on Saturday. The menu suggests that tasty sandwiches are served, but in practice, they are minimalist sandwiches with little flavor, yet they charge 15 euros. The chicken nuggets were chicken cut into crispy pieces. The boiled eggs tasted chemical. And the chicken sandwiches consisted of three slices of smoked chicken; we had very different expectations for the price charged. The fried egg dish came on two white casino bread rolls, even though we had asked for brown. When taking the order, the staff were not customer-friendly, but seemed irritated and were staring at an iPad while taking the order. As far as we are concerned, we would not recommend having lunch here. If we had known this, we would have brought our own food.

On Whit Monday, this beach bar had more of a "rest stop" feel: self-service, fries tasted like the cardboard boxes they came in, an unpleasant mess, the toilet was locked, and there wasn't another toilet on the entire stretch of beach for that many people. The staff were friendly and tried their best, but were clearly overwhelmed. Prices were too high for what they offered. But since there was no direct competition nearby, they didn't seem to need to make any further effort... What a shame.

The fries were tasty, but it wasn't a very atmospheric place. Poor value for money.

Simply wonderfully cozy and relaxed – a place to truly unwind. And the cookies are so delicious 😋

When Bad Noord was taken over a few years ago and continued as Paviljoen Noordkust, many people from Camping Bakkum – myself included – hoped for improvement. We were certainly fed up with the charred kibbeling. Unfortunately, the opposite has happened. The cappuccino is often far too weak, or you get a half-empty cup. When we complained about this, the response we received was: “that is just how our machine is set up.” That really says it all. Rental beach beds are sometimes so dirty that you don't even want to touch them. If you go back because something is broken, it is simply placed back on top of the stack for the next customer. Draft beer seems like liquid gold by now: high prices and the glasses aren't even filled neatly to the brim. Last year we got a platter of fried snacks for a hefty sum, but the bitterballen had burst open and the filling was smeared all over the rest of the snacks. Unacceptable. On hot days, there is a structural staff shortage. Waiting times of well over an hour for a simple portion of fries are not uncommon. In fact, on a hot day, the fryer didn't even turn on at all due to a staff shortage. Healthy alternatives are scarce. Moreover, the (often young) staff frequently come across as rude. They advertise BBQ packages for groups, but as soon as you try to make a reservation, it turns out this isn't possible in practice. The ice cream menu is also misleading: cards costing €22.50 are sold, but during hot weekends there was hardly any choice – just a few pear ice creams. The most frustrating thing is that apparently little changes, because it always remains busy. There is simply little competition in the area.

Visit on May 1, 2026, with two couples around 1:30 p.m. The location is truly lovely – a bit quieter and on the edge of the hustle and bustle, right on the beach. The atmosphere is relaxed, the venue itself is nicely designed, and the flowers on the tables look well-kept. However, the stairs leading up to the bar are partially broken, which detracts somewhat from the overall impression. The furnishings are generally okay, but not consistently well-maintained. The system of delivering food by number seems very disorganized: waiters wander around the terrace, searching for suitable tables and visibly losing track of things. Unfortunately, the service was our biggest complaint. We ordered the vegetarian bitter garnish twice. The first portion arrived immediately, the second only five minutes later. We were already puzzled by the first plate because the filling looked very much like meat. When the second portion arrived, it was clear: a completely different combination, this time with a red beetroot center. Both people who had already eaten have been vegetarians for over ten years – out of conviction. When asked about it at the stand, they only responded with a brief, "Oh, I'm sorry, that shouldn't happen." No real apology, no complimentary drink, no inquiry as to how serious the situation was for them. It was truly frustrating and completely unprofessional. Especially concerning: When food items are so easily mixed up, it quickly becomes dangerous – not only for vegetarians, but also for people with allergies or intolerances. The same applies to alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks: If someone accidentally receives the wrong thing, they could, in the worst-case scenario, experience health problems or find themselves in unpleasant situations. Such mistakes simply cannot happen in the food service industry. The pricing is also problematic: €9.50 for a wheat beer and €5 for a non-alcoholic beer are far too high. In total, the four of us spent around €60, which is hardly reasonable for what was offered – despite the beach location. All in all, this visit was disappointing. The mishandling of a clearly communicated vegetarian order and the lack of sensitivity to potential risks severely tarnish the overall impression. If you can't reliably distinguish between vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, you simply shouldn't offer such options. Conclusion: absolutely not recommended – unless you don't care what you're served. 1 out of 5 stars due to this serious error.

Delicious fries!! Beautiful view, right on the beach.

We stopped by for a bite to eat. Unfortunately, they were out of ice cream today (April 7, 2026). It should be available again sometime this week (Langnese selection). Fries with mayo were €5. They arrived quickly and were very tasty. We shared two portions between the four of us. For drinks, we had two Heinekens, two Cokes, and an orange juice. Just under €20.

Self-service, friendly, not too busy... just a really nice place for normal people.

It's great that Noordkust is still around. I had a chicken thigh satay with a cold draft beer. Excellent quality, not factory-made satay. We love coming here; Dennis is a great host with a great team.

It has a typical kiosk mentality. I wonder why the reviews mention "fries" 🤔. They're not on the menu. The restrooms are like those at a campsite, so you just have to be prepared for that. We didn't eat, but it looked good from what we saw at the tables next to us. I took a photo of the menu. The view is, of course, magnificent. Why someone would write that they're bothered by the windsurfers... Hmm, it should be obvious to them when I'm by the sea...

Great place for fries or an ice cream on the beach - staff were super friendly and accommodating. It is very expensive but that's because of its location on the sandy beach. Food was fresh and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Toilets could be nicer but again...it's on a beach so gets used alot. We'd visit again!

The beach is very nice, but there are a lot of very annoying paragliders.

Great place to have a drink or a bite to eat during a walk in the dunes.

Great place for a quick drink. Coffee and delicious pastries. The blond beer, brewed especially for this location, was also delicious. Nice parasols with a local atmosphere, but they did obscure the sea view a bit.

A constantly extremely loud generator with the door to the container open right next to the pavilion. High prices.

Nice location with a cozy atmosphere. Prices are very high; a beer and fries will set you back almost €20. At least the restrooms are clean.

Does not match what their website suggests at all. Filthy, dirty and filthy. Glasses are barely washed. After a comment about this you get another dirty glass. Tables were all full of dirty plates/glasses and are not cleaned. Worn-out dirty tent. Disposable cutlery. But the price was that of the better brasserie.

Worthless! 20 euros for a board for 2 people. Only the shelf was enough for my 3-year-old daughter. When we reported something about this that this was extremely little, I received the answer "the shelf is filled, right?" No excuses or anything like that and clearly stood behind his product. Very hopeless and very unfriendly. Highly recommended and I would continue walking to the tents further away.

Friendly and excellent range, but it is a shame that it runs entirely on a generator with additional noise. A shame for the environment!

Beautiful view of the sea, order and collect drinks yourself. Toilets not great, no soap and towels

A place where we immediately felt at home. Just be who you are. Ate delicious salads. 2x coffee in confidence...👌

Mediocre location with a quite expensive card. Hamburger for almost 20 euros. Sol beer 7. Would skip this place.

I like going to the quiet beach. After 5 hours we ate a delicious barbecue sea bass. Fantastic. Go for it

Bizarrely expensive place where you pay 7 euros for a beer. You should definitely not come there for the atmosphere and experience. Go somewhere else!!

Delicious hamburger. Much better fries than last year! And super tender satay! Really delicious food

Beautiful place. Amazing view. Nice service. Rustical and real. All what I need to be happy. Thank you.

Wat een fijne tent, heel gastvrij. Dennis, je eten is uit de kunst!

Een echte strandtent zoals een strandtent hoort te zijn. Goed eten geen overdreven opsmuk!! We hebben heerlijk gezeten, genoten van de rust en het uitzicht. Niet te veel tafels op het terras, lekker overzichtelijk. Het bier was verrassend lekker. Crew was vriendelijke, deze strandtent is een aanrader we komen zeker weer terug.!!!

Wir sind zweimal dort gewesen und beim nächsten Urlaub bestimmt wieder. Service: Getränke holt man sich selbst an der Bar. Das Essen kann man ebenfalls dort bestellen, bekommt es aber direkt an den Tisch gebracht. Essen: die Karte ist übersichtlich, wobei für jeden Geschmack und hunger etwas dabei ist. Unsere Gerichte haben voll überzeugt und waren sehr lecker Getränke: lokale Auswahl und alles, was man braucht. Extravagant gehört hier auch nicht hin. Einrichtung: liebevoll hergerichtet und gemütlich. Besondeheit: sehr kinderfreundlich. Spiele für kids gibt es ebenfalls. Bis nächstes Mal

Samen met mijn beste vriendin en onze gezamenlijke 5 kids plus nog wat zoete inval, een ‘het kon echt niet beter week’ gehad en dat was niet in de laatste plaats dankzij Noordkust, Dennis en z’n mensen. Wat een gezelligheid, wat relaxt, wat kon er veel… Heel blij dat deze fijne plek er is. Als je die duinpan hebt overwonnen lacht deze plek je toe! Dank je wel voor een topweek, Dennis!

Freundliches Personal, wir haben tolle Burger gegessen. Schöne Aussicht

Zelf afhalen van consumpties maar dat is verder prima. De koffie was goed heet. Gezellig ingericht.

Top locatie, heerlijk eten, maar bovenal............super gastvrij !!!!! Heb je zin in gezelligheid, lieve mensen en dus een top dag...dan ben je hier aan het juiste adres. Familie de Jong weet hoe je het iedereen naar de zin kan maken 😀

Leuke kleine kaart en heel klantvriendelijk..eenvoudig maar zeker oke

Heel vriendelijk personeel! En heerlijke koffie !

Gezellige strandtent met aardig personeel. De kaart is wat beperkt, maar alle klassiekers staan erop. Je kunt er vanaf een uur of 17:00 uur ook iets van de barbecue bestellen, wat het zomerse gevoel nog eens versterkt. Heel leuk! Tijdens een besloten feestje, kun je er niets bestellen. Dat is wel rottig, want de eerstvolgende strandtent is vanaf daar nog wel even lopen.

Na een paar bezoekjes kan ik zeggen, dat de ontvangst en bediening door eigenaar en bediening heel vriendelijk en persoonlijk is.

Gezellige plek met een zeer vriendelijke gast heer Dennis

Verse losse thee, verse koekjes, heerlijk!

Ein koffie verkeerd oder ein biertje oder ein broodje bei Sonnenuntergang ist hier einfach mooi, lekker un heerlijk!

A nice place at the seaside. We visited for a wedding celebration and boy, were we in shock! With good access to a sandy (and windy) beach, great food and very kind staff we felt that this is one of those places you definitely have to return to. There are some caveats, however. The parking is one of them - with 7.5€ to pay at a nearby parking lot this wouldn't be seen as great, nor terrible, but nonetheless it wasn't something we were expecting (especially given that we were there as guests for a celebration). Overall 4/5 stars since it's a great place to go, but may lack the final oomph for a 5/5.

Voortreffelijk eten, leuke bediening

Gezellige tent mooi ingericht. Heerlijke high tea. Lekker daarna strand wandeling gemaakt.

De plek waar je naartoe wilt als je op een mooie zomerse dag wilt genieten van al het moois dat het strand heeft te bieden Als je op zoek bent naar een hippe tent vol hipsters dan ben je hier aan het verkeerde adres. Voor een gezellig strandpaviljoen met goed eten en een laagdrempelige sfeer ben je hier wel aan het juiste adres.

We visited Strandpaviljoen Bad Noord for a nice weekend. With 'we' I mean our family of five from Finland. We had a very nice weekend on the beach! We rented a container cabin with a bed and a sleeping couch. There was also a fridge in the room and that was handy. Toilet's and showers were really close by as well as the cooking area. From the Strandpaviljoen you could fetch something at the beach or even sit down and eat there in the cosy restaurant. In the evening it was nice to sit down by the fire place and have a few drinks and a laugh. Atmosphere was nice and the staff was very friendly. Thank you for having us there, we will come back for sure next time when we're in Holland again!

Ik heb genoten van de sfeer en vooral de rust bij bad Noord. Ik zal het mijn vrienden aanraden. En ik kom zelf weer genieten daar.

Super fijne plek! Zowel overdag, wanneer je er lekker kunt lunchen (heerlijk van een uitsmijtertje genoten) als 's avonds op het terras onder genot van een koud biertje de zon zien zakken. Vriendelijk en informele sfeer. Ik voelde mij er als een vis in het water!

Erg mooie en relaxte plek om heerlijk te genieten en tot rust te komen. Prijzen zeer schappelijk en personeel heel vriendelijk. Gaan we vaker komen.
