Katwyk aan See, a fishing village with 8000 inhab., who send
over 70 smacks to the herring-fishery, has been frequented as a sea-
side resort since 1848. It has a picturesque old church and the old
lighthouse (17th cent.) affords a fine view. At the N. end of Katwyk
is the mouth of a canal (constructed in 1807) closed with huge
gates, which assists the Old Rhine to empty itself into the sea. At
low tide the gates are opened for 5-6 hours in order to permit the
accumulated waters to escape, and the masses of sand thrown up by
the sea are thus again washed away. A pleasant walk or cycle-ride,
pest at low tide, may be taken along the beach to (33/4 M.) Noord-
wyk aan Zee.
