Admiring the races from the quay or the beach is also possible. The exciting matches will certainly be seen from the coast of Scheveningen. The sailing boats can always use some encouragement from the quay on departure or upon entry. You can also visit the social events without sailing.
The North Sea Regatta is part of the programming of Feest aan Zee, 200 years of seaside resort Den Haag, Scheveningen.
In 1818 Jacobus Pronk built the first bathhouse at Scheveningen. This year the city offers its residents and visitors a variety of festivities. The seaside resort will be in the spotlights. The whole city will be partying with festivals, exhibitions and performances.
