Wijk aan Zee (Dutch pronunciation:[ˈʋɛi̯kaːnˈzeː] literally Neighborhood at Sea) is a village on the coast of the North Sea in the municipality of Beverwijk, the province of North Holland of the Netherlands. The prestigious Tata Steel Chess Tournament[3] (formerly called the Corus chess tournament or the Hoogovens tournament) takes place there every year.
Due to its seaside location, Wijk aan Zee has become a popular destination among tourists. This is reflected in the village economy, which consists of many bars and hotels.
