Inhale the salty sea air, take a stroll along the beach, listen to the sounds of the North Sea and enjoy the bustling Salt Market in Scheveningen. The renewed Nordboulevard is a lively spot, attracting locals, tourists, families with kids and international students on day trips from other Dutch cities.
The boulevard next to the beach at Scheveningen hosts Salt Market, one of the most lively markets taking place on various weekends throughout the summer. The market also takes place at Keizerstraat in Scheveningen. Check out the different stalls, offering many things including crafts, textiles, children's toys and tasty food.
For much of the year, it's pretty chilly for swimming, but you might still fancy a day out at the most famous seaside resort in the Netherlands, strolling, browsing and treating yourself to a tasty snack from one of the stalls. In spring and summer, you couldn't ask for a better location for this one-of-a-kind market!
Not only was Nordboulevard built to provide protection against coastal erosion, but it was also intended as a broad walkway and a perfect location for hosting a large market. After strolling, browsing and shopping in the Salt Market, visitors are spoilt for choice between the beach, the famous pier and all the amazing eateries where you can sit, relax and warm up with some Dutch food.
