[NL] "Trots torent hij hoog boven het zeeduin uit: onze vuurtoren, vernoemd naar J.C.J. van Speijk. De luitenant die in 1831 zijn kanoneerschip, bemanning en zichzelf opblies in de haven van Antwerpen om niet in handen te vallen van de Belgen. Al eeuwenlang is de Egmondse vuurtoren een baken voor zeelieden. Nog elke avond schijnt de Van Speijk zijn vertrouwde licht over dorp en zee. Het uitzicht vanuit de vuurtoren is zeer fraai! Elke vrijdag in juli en augustus kunt u de 132 treden beklimmen. Van 19.00 tot 21.00 uur. Kaartjes zijn verkrijgbaar bij het KNRM-botenhuis (Boulevard Zuid 5). Leuk in combinatie met een bezoek aan het botenhuis!"
