Scheveningen beach.
This is my entry to "TAKE a PIC and comment". A CCC-contest hosted by @olivia08. The theme is sea/seashore.
The last time I visited a beach was in 2018.
June it was and we went to Scheveningen beach. We left late, could not find it and it was cold! Extremely cold and a strong wind blew.
It was the last time I spoke my friend by telephone. She intended to meet there.
After we parked the "Beelden aan zee" (Statues at the sea) welcomed us. This was my place, this is my life. Statues made about fairy tales. I wrote about nearly each statue I photographed a story or haiku or poem at the Dutch site Yoors.
What more needs a fairy tale lover as this world of tales...
Gulliver was present and the dwarfs were found everyone. One missed someone took it.
You remember this soldier? He fell in love with a ballerina.
This sculpture is not about a tale but stands for Scheveningen. Scheveningen always been a fishery village. "Haring happen" (eating herring) is what is common in Scheveningen and the Netherlands and is what this sculpture does. You keep the herring at it's tail above your head and bite it.
It was the first time my two youngest saw this beach or any beach and sea shore in the Netherlands.
This is the "pier". It is finally renovated. There are shops and restaurants inside. Most of them already closed at the time we arrived (we decided to visit Sealife after we saw all the sculptures).
A very strong wind and a wild sea.
At the end of the Pier you find a Ferris Wheel. No idea what it costs to go inside. A ticket has to be bought at the entrance of the Pier.
The "Kurhaus" in Scheveningen. It is famous, I never been inside. In front of it you see souvenir shops and restaurants. All expensive and not as exclusive as thought.

What an interesting place and awesome statutes, @wakeupkitty. It definitely looks cold there though, and colder by the sea.

@fitinfun It was extremely cold. We intended to go there to see the and sculptures but this event was no longer on the beach so we did something else. At the end of the day we were happy we went but it was so cold, a strong wind plus expensive. ❤️

BEER.Hey @wakeupkitty, here is a little bit of
BEERfrom @robibasa for you. Enjoy it!As I remember it was starting of this year when I goes to a beach, it was my business tour and I got some free time to visit there.
@freemonster What started this year? The sculptures? I was there June 2018, I don't know how long they remain. I hope forever. It is an initiative of a museum"Art at the seashore" or something like that. ❤️
@wakeupkitty beautiful pictures, this looks like a place I would love to visit.
@myjob As my eldest were little I used to go there mainly on Sunday's. There is a nice mall and many restaurants plus a cinema and casino behind the Kurhaus. It was a good way to spend the Sunday at a time shops were closed on Sundays. You can make a trip with a fisherboat too (huge one) and go fishing. Sea life is not big but at the boulevard too and the children liked it. Pity they build so many High buildings there. You can take the tram/trolley and visit Madurodam or go to The Hague. The fishery village became a part of this city.
