Kijkduin and Ockenburgh
Located on the western edge of The Hague, this area consists of a residential coastal district and the surrounding dunes. Travelers visit this location primarily for the North Sea beach and the walking paths through the dunes, providing a quiet environment away from the city center.
Getting There
From the center of The Hague, you can reach the coast via public bus or by bicycle. The journey typically takes between 20 and 30 minutes depending on the mode of transport and traffic conditions.
Duration of Visit
Allow approximately 2 to 4 hours to walk along the shoreline and explore the dune paths. The time required depends on whether you intend to visit the local shops or simply walk the beach.
When to Visit
The area is most active during the summer months when the weather is warmer. It is generally quieter during the weekdays and in the off-season. To avoid the largest crowds, visit on weekday mornings.

- Khojaly Massacre Memorial (3.2km)
- Kunstmuseum Den Haag (4.6km)
- 2014 Nuclear Security Summit site (4.9km)
