Go to Haarlem (15km west from Amsterdam) and then follow the signs 'Bloemendaal aan Zee - Zanvoort'. There is also a bus you can take in front of the Station in Haarlem. It will takes you about 20 minutes from there to get to Bloemendaal/Zee.
You are only allowed to officially kitesurf at the end of the beachclub Woodstock.
At night, you can have some nice parties in the 'trendy' beach clubs or restaurants (all located on the beach). Unfortunately everything close down around midnight. Next stop can be Zandvoort village or Haarlem where clubs and bars are open till 4am.
