The beach

On the next to last day we were in The Hague, I went to the beach. It was only about a 10 minute tram ride from my hotel. The beach itself was beautiful, but it was really built up, with lots of tourist shops and tacky food stands. Not that much was open -- it was very windy, which made it cold! But there were still some people out braving the wind!
This is one of the beach casinos. This one is built at the end of a long pier, and has a great view.
Some more people who are braving the elements. I saw a couple of people wading in the water, but they were wearing rain boots.

On a good day -- when the wind isn't blowing at 30 mph -- you can go bungy jumping. Apparently, it is very popular!

  1. That sign on the bottom left in the bungy tower photo reads: "Leave soiled underwear here."
