Is staying at North sea beneficial to skin and respiratory problems...to sum up is it healthy in general?
thanx
Being at the seaside in general is good for you. Fresh air, sun and sea. If you sunbathe responsibly, that is.
Being at the Dutch seaside is not particularly healthier than any other beach in general.
Not like for instance the Dead Sea in Israel where the water and mud contain qualities that are very good for your skin.
Yes, but I recommend to go to a Wadden island like Vlielans, Terschelling or Ameland.

Good beaches at Ouddorp (Goeree-Overflakkee), just north of the province Zeeland.
As others mentioned, sea/ocean air is in general good for you. You didn't say when you plan on going. Last time I visited Scheveningen it was at the end of July (a few years back) and too cold to get into the water. I didn't see too many people in the water, not even the kids. But if you are looking into walks on the beach, breathing in the air, and enjoying a calm and restful environment, I highly recommend Vlieland. It's got to be the most beautiful and serene place in Holland.
If you're looking for a special restaurant while visiting The Hague or Holland, then try visiting the IENS web-site, a member based on-line restaurant guide in both English and Dutch.

Old legends tell about divine goddesses and heroic guys which you still can read in amazing myths and legendary sagas.
Because of my studies and research about the Goddess-myths I love to read about these subjects, always looking for more ... So it is not that odd my eyes get drawn to divine goddesses ... and heroic guys.
Well, actually those who do look like the great legendary guys, too! Even on a poster along the Scheveningen Boulevard ... I could not resist taking a picture of it, ...
;o)))
Every year teams of different firework producers of several countries compete to be the best in this yearly contest. Especially good when the weather is very nice and it is dry nut if not it usually is fun too.
This year it is held from the 13th of august till the 16th of august 2003.
On 22.00 and 23.00 a 15 minute firework presentation will be held from the Pier.
Between The Hague City and Scheveningen Town there is a forest that has a name Schveningse Bosjes. It is real forest although people of cause have walking here as well as jogging. There are some wonderful views from the paths if you cross it by walk.
Flag Day or Vlaggetjesdag, it started somewhere in the 16th century. On the Saturday before Pentecost the Scheveningen locals decorated their ships with flags. Sunday, the first day of Pentecost was a church day; at the second day of Pentecost (a Dutch tradition) all Scheveningen people came together on the quays to watch the decorated ships that would sail out for the next morning. The one who would bring the first herring after a few weeks (direction Scotland), was the proud winner of this herring race.
In spite of this, Vlaggetjesdag (Flag Day) did not lose its original signification, and every year the organisation succeeds to bring the Scheveningen traditions very alive again. Since 2003 the tradition of the herring race has been reinstalled in full of splendour with many many tourists. After all the harbour of The Hague, Scheveningen, is a very photogenic area and, you can have some delicious sea-food snacks around ... and see the originally dressed Scheveningen ladies!
