Officially the address of 'Zwagers' is Bos en Lommerplantsoen 2, but it's closer to the Hoofdweg, overlooking the Erasmusgracht. It's a little kiosk where you can buy snacks like home made biological french fries, and Indonesian sate with peanut sauce. Yum! They serve coffee as well.

If you're dependent on public transport, this is the beach to go to, since it is so close to the train station. It is however, very busy in summer.
If you have a car, go to Castricum (club Zand) or Wijk aan Zee (Timboektoe), which is more fun.
