Trust me, visiting this beach is an experience you won't want to miss if you're looking to create unforgettable memories during your trip to Den Haag.

Kijkduin Beach
8 Eric K.

The quality of service and food were commendable, although the presentation of the menu could be improved as it was slightly deceiving. The menu appeared to be extensive, but upon closer inspection, it was relatively concise. Nevertheless, we relished the dishes we ultimately selected.

Katwijk Beach

The beach was rather pleasant, and I visited it based on a recommendation from a travel guide. It's a great spot for taking photographs, particularly of the charming old church situated near the shore. However, I wouldn't suggest spending an excessive amount of time there.
