Brand New Queer Hike

More info & tickets

Gather, salty sea sprites and dune-dwelling darlings! 🌊✨

Swap forests for sea air with a Queer Coast Hike from Scheveningen (The Hague) to Katwijk aan Zee, wandering through the wild beauty of the Meijendel nature reserve. Expect rolling dunes, endless beaches, quiet small lakes, and that special winter hush where we might (if in luck) spot the reserve’s most elusive resident: the lonely otter gliding through the reeds. 🦦🌾

What to expect?

We’ll hike along a stunning mix of dunes and beaches along the North Sea. There will be several moments to pause, breathe, and take dramatic seaside selfies. 📸🌬️

And because tradition bends but never breaks: we’ll finish in Katwijk aan Zee with a New Year’s Dive. 🧊🏊‍♀️ Of course you can also opt for a hot chocolate at a beach bar instead. ☕
