The call of a kookaburra is unmistakable. This large kingfisher produces a booming, cackling laugh, which is why it’s often nicknamed the ‘laughing bird’. And at Kookaburra Beach, on our favorite Zuiderstrand, you won’t be short of laughs either.
G’day, mate!
The kookaburra is a true resident bird and is found exclusively along Australia’s east coast. It’s no surprise, then, that Kookaburra Beach has a distinct Australian vibe. You can start your day here with an acai bowl, there are Bundaberg soft drinks on the menu, and in the evening the BBQ is fired up more than once.
Heaps Good
From laid-back drinks and sporty beach activities to party nights with music and events for young and old. The energetic team at ‘Kooka’ organizes lively events on the beach all year round. You can join a yoga session every Friday, take a sea swimming course, and the annual beach volleyball tournament is already on the calendar. And of course, as befits a true Aussie, you can rent a surfboard and take on the waves.
With your Haagse Schatten gift card, you can head to Kookaburra. It also makes a great gift to give. Buy it in our webshop, or stop by one of our treasures where you can purchase the gift card in person.
The best part is that every euro you spend on the card is guaranteed to be used at a local business in The Hague. That way, together we can keep enjoying the city’s hotspots run by enthusiastic and driven local entrepreneurs. There are now more than seventy Haagse Schatten locations where you can redeem your card, so there’s something for everyone.
