When you find yourself in The Hague, a visit to the beach is an absolute must, particularly when the weather is in your favor. There are countless bars and restaurants where you can indulge in a refreshing drink or a delicious meal while taking in the stunning sunset views. One of my personal favorites is perching atop one of the piers, where you'll find charming little lighthouses that add to the ambiance. 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.

This beach is a lovely spot to savor a meal and witness the breathtaking sunset. It stays open until late, and their menu offers a delightful range of vegan and vegetarian choices. To access the other side, you can either take a bike ride or a leisurely walk, but be prepared to hike up the dunes.
