What to Expect

The Duinpieperpad is a quiet walking route that starts just across the train tracks from the Visscherspad. Use the small tunnel to cross the tracks and take the path immediately to the right — this is the start of the Duinpieperpad. The route winds north through peaceful dune landscapes, with both paved and unpaved paths to choose from.

This area allows for more adventurous exploration, and it's great for dogs who enjoy variety. As you reach the northern end of the trail, you can cross the Keesomstraat into a small green zone nestled between Doctor Jacobus P. Thijsseweg and Lorentzstraat. This hidden area is a mix of open grassland and small dune patches — ideal for a short break or final stretch of off-leash fun.

Off-leash area (seasonal):
• Between the cattle grids (veeroosters): dogs must be leashed
• Outside of that zone: dogs may run off-leash
• Dogs are also allowed to explore off the paved trail in many sections

Rules & Guidelines
• Pay attention to signs marking the on-leash zone between veeroosters
• Keep dogs under control when off-leash
• Always clean up after your dog
• No water stations — bring your own

Good to Know
The Duinpieperpad is less visited than beach areas and perfect for a quiet, nature-filled walk. The connected area beyond Keesomstraat is small but peaceful — a nice bonus if you're not ready to head home yet. Watch out for cyclists along the main paths.
