Especially in warm weather, a great place to sit and enjoy the view over the water. There is a small beach (though you're not allowed to swim) where you can sit. Take a ferry to get there.

Located in a windmill, a small brewery with wonderful beer. In my opinion, much nicer than the Heineken Experience. They provide small tours, but it's more of a place to just sit and enjoy a beer.
