A good spot for a break overlooking the marina and the ferry terminal where the cruise ships as well as the daily Amsterdam ferry can be viewed

Don’t forget to lock your bike up or leave someone with it. There are secure bike stands a few yards away, but sadly a couple have been stolen by opportunists as people need to go inside to order.
