Kijkduin

Kijkduin is a seaside resort located in the southwestern part of The Hague, Netherlands. Situated on the North Sea coast, it is known for its wide sandy beaches and dunes, which form part of the larger Hollands Duin area. The name "Kijkduin" translates to "Look-at-the-Dune," referring to the prominent dune that historically served as a vantage point.

The area transitioned from a relatively undeveloped coastal region to a popular tourist destination in the 20th century. Today, Kijkduin offers a range of amenities for visitors, including beach pavilions, hotels, and holiday parks. Its natural surroundings are a key attraction, with opportunities for walking, cycling, and enjoying the coastal landscape.

Kijkduin is also recognized for its modern architecture, particularly the "Skyline" apartment complex, which has become a distinctive landmark. The resort is easily accessible by public transport from the center of The Hague. Its proximity to nature reserves and its laid-back atmosphere contribute to its appeal as a recreational spot for both locals and tourists seeking a seaside escape.
