De Kaag is a picturesque island in the Kagerplassen. The island is easy to reach with the ferry. De Kaag is a good base for a delicious lunch, picnic or for a cup of coffee on one of the many terraces on the water.

Molen De Vrouw Venner is a polder mill from 1835 that was built to drain the Vrouw Vennepolder. The mill has been restored several times and is now used on a voluntary basis.

The Broekdijkmolen in Warmond is an octagonal wooden polder mill built in 1862, which replaced a burnt-down octagonal mill from 1840. In 1972 the mill went downhill during a storm and could be stopped with difficulty. The following night, however, the mill burned down, probably as a result of overheating. The municipality of Haarlem offered an octagonal mill as a replacement. This could not be kept in its place in the Waarderpolder due to the expansion of an industrial estate. The mill was transferred in its entirety to Warmond and appeared to fit on the masonry substructure. The mill was installed in 1974; the restoration lasted until 1976. Until 1979, the Broekdijk mill was owned by the polder, then by the Oude Veenen water board and now by the Rijnlandse Molenstichting, which also supervised the 1976 reconstruction. The mill now drains the Broek en Simontjes polder on a voluntary basis. The mill is a national monument.

The first light on the beach of Noordwijk dates from 1444, but this lighthouse was built there in 1921. The tower has 6 floors, 108 steps and the light height is 33 meters. The lighthouse can only rarely be climbed, for example on Heritage Days, but the lighthouse is also beautiful to see from the outside.
