De Haan

(8420) De Haan - Standard parking with no height restriction and no parking ticket. Right on the beach and a 3-minute walk to a beach bar. Next to a quiet one-way street.

Beautiful location right on the beach. It was quite noisy from the busy road and public toilets were only available in the season when the weather was good, everything was closed or water, there were only garbage cans on the promenade, but the location made up for it. 3 nights with a camper, it was wonderful. On a rainy day we took the Kusttram for a day ticket of €7.50, the stop was a 10 minute walk away.
