Beaches

You can enjoy the beach all year round in The Hague. Whether it's for a beach day or a dinner at one of the beach pavilions, or for a winter day blowing off with a hot chocolate. The Hague has the luxury of 11 kilometres of coast on its doorstep. Each part of the beach has its own vibe.

'Nowhere in the Netherlands can you find so many kilometres of beach so close to the city. A unique combination.'

Safely enjoying your Hague beach day

What do those different flags at the lifeguard mean? The sea looks calm, but maybe there are currents to watch out for. What are those big Miffy poles for? These may not be the things that immediately come to mind when spending a day at the beach, but they are very useful and safe to know.
