Weekly beach cleanups with an optional workout twist! Meet new people, learn about coastal nature and help keep The Hague's beaches clean. No Dutch needed.
Love the sea? Then the beach needs you!
Every week, a friendly group of locals and internationals head out onto The Hague's beaches to clean up the coast, get moving and have a good time together. No experience needed and no Dutch required: our sessions are guided in English or Dutch, whatever works for the group.
What's it like?
You join a small group, led by a Coastal Gym trainer and De Kust Vertelt beach guide. Together we walk the beach, collect litter and keep each other company. Along the way, our guide tells you all about life on the coast: the shells, the seaweed, the crabs, and the stuff that washes ashore that really shouldn't be there.
Pick your style
After a short introduction, you choose how you want to take part:
- 🛷 Pullka – the workout version. Strap on a harness and pull a sled filled with collected litter (or sand) behind you. It's a great full-body workout with double impact! We have 10 Pullka sets per session, and the first 10 people to sign up get priority.
- 🪣 Bucket & litter picker – the relaxed version. A peaceful beach walk if you'd rather chat than sweat.
When, where & how to sign up?
We're on the beach three times a week:
- North Beach (Noorderstrand): Wednesday afternoon and Sunday morning
- South Beach (Zuiderstrand): Sunday afternoon
Join once, join every week, or switch between beaches. It's up to you! Pease find the full schedule and sign up via the Noorderstrand and the Zuiderstrand page.
What do you get?
- A friendly beach community of people with different nationalities who share a love for the coast
- Fresh air, exercise and a clear head
- Fun facts about coastal nature
- The satisfying feeling of leaving the beach cleaner than you found it
And it's completely free!
Good to know
- Children aged 5 and up are welcome with an adult. The Pullka equipment can be used from age 16.
- Sessions are for individuals. Want to organize something similar for your team or company? Get in touch and we'll be happy to discuss the options.
- Each session takes 90 minutes. Wear comfortable, sporty clothes for alle weather conditions and bring a bottle of water.

About De Kust Vertelt
De Kust Vertelt organizes weekly BeachClean & Workouts. This activity is a social workout in which we work together on a cleaner beach, a stronger body and a clear mind. We combine collecting waste with natural movement, a boost for yourself and nature.
Accompanied by a Pullka trainer and beach guide, you will set off in a small group. You combine picking up litter with Pullka: an innovative beach sport in which you pull a Pullka sled over the sand. Along the way, you will learn about the nature on the coast and gain insight into what washes ashore and what does not belong there.
This activity takes place weekly on both the Noorderstrand and the Zuiderstrand of The Hague. Participation is free for individuals.
Your contribution? A cleaner beach and a nice dose of positive energy. This activity is a collaboration between the Municipality of The Hague, Coastal Gym and De Kust Vertelt.
