Beach pavilion near The Hague: The Coast Beach House
Monster is a village in the Westland, close to The Hague. If you cycle through the dunes of Hollandse Duinen National Park towards the Westland, you’ll practically pass it along the way. From the Sand Motor, it’s about a 30-minute walk. The Coast is a cosy beach pavilion serving freshly prepared dishes. And because it stands on stilts, the views are fantastic.
