Below the hotel is the 'Strand' promenade. Lots of hotdog carts and restaurants, as well as beach huts for rent and beach side bar/cafes. We decided to have our breakfast at the 't Pannenkoekenhuisje.
Saviya really loved her fruit Pannenkoek, lots of fresh fruit and vanilla ice cream!
Down on the beach there was a humongous sand castle
The video does it better justice for size and detail, quite a windy day
Nice lighthouse, now running LEDs for its light, probably by Phillips...
There was a statue park on the Strand, it ranged from whimsical to disturbing. Some of these little statues are drowning or other somber situation, but the tall guy eating fish was pretty cool
This guy had to be 15 feet tall..notice he sat on the guardrail behind him.
A face on the hillside..the entire Scheveningen is protected by a seawall that is about 30 feet high.
We walked all the way down to the port and turned back and took this shot
And a panorama from the pier in the distance to the breakwater we are standing on, about 3km
Finally this video of the port entrance, lots of boats going in and out, most sailboats had great wind that day and had raised up and cut motor, but this guy was putting home. Notice the huge windmill in the distance. It was prob 50 feet tall, bigger? We couldn't figure out why it would be still on such a windy day.
We got on a train home that afternoon to Amsterdam. Its about 1 hour on the train. Den Haag is very cool, we will definitely go back and check more of it out.
