Wikipedia description:

Wijk aan Zee (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈʋɛik aːn ˈzeː]; lit. '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 (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.
