"I'm with MoekeIs a concept. Everyone likes to visit Moeke, but the question is whether Moeke still likes Scheveningen? Beach tents and all catering establishments are compulsory closed along the entire Dutch coastline, and that in a period when the beautiful spring weather is welcomed to bring in the first turnover.
180 sports matches on dozens of televisions
This summer then with mask to Scheveningen? Unfortunately, the brand new branch of mommy in Scheveningen not yet open its doors to the general public. Also the neighbor, the world famous Three Sisters Pub, remains closed. The pub at the Rembrandtplein is a phenomenon in Amsterdam and is now also located on the Strandweg on the boulevard. Dozens of televisions show at least 180 sports matches every week. Due to the corona crisis and the measures taken by the government, the catering industry is one of the sectors where the next press conference is hopelessly looking forward to opening the doors. can not be purchased to open.
boulevard Schevieningen is deserted
No one can come up with this scenario. A completely deserted boulevard on Scheveningen where many new catering companies and shops cannot open their doors. Beach operators along the entire Scheveningen coastline draw attention to the problems surrounding the 'NOW scheme'. This is an arrangement that the government presented to the business community, which compensates 90 percent of the wages. This does not offer a solution for seasonal companies, which peak in the summer.
When I write this article I look out on the deserted beach and Beachclub Bora Bora. Unfortunately the doors are closed. Everyone can go for take out and they can pick up or have the delicious menu delivered on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, for that little bit of beach feeling. Many ships are 'parked' off the coast. Sometimes they wait for a place in the harbor or for a new assignment. Or - and this is happening today - they are tankers waiting for a better price for the oil they have on board.

setbacks pile up for Scheveningen
It was not known for a long time how the boulevard was 'closed', the municipality wanted to end with a 'topper'. When it became known that the world famous Hard Rock Café would come to Scheveningen, an eye-catcher on Noordboulevard Scheveningen was built hard to have everything ready in time.
Horeca entrepreneur Laurens Meijer took on the plan on the brand new Scheveningen Noordboulevard 'the most beautiful branch in Europe' to open. But hhe Hard Rock Café doesn't come to Scheveningen anyway, and dhe other new crowd puller, Legoland, has not yet opened the doors or there appear to be cracks in the walls and also the cellar roof, under the boulevard, appears to be too weak.
The giraffe at Legoland is now ready and is made of 46.000 pieces of Lego and Duplo. But those concrete blocks around it were never meant to be. There is something very wrong with it. If the blocks were not there, the fire brigade might drop down the boulevard on the way to an incident at a beach tent.
not a second lost season for many beach tent owners?
Last year, real estate owner Hommerson, who had not yet finished building shops on the North side of the boulevard, paid the rent of the beach tent owners (who did not build it), which they are again obliged to pay to the municipality. That way, they earned nothing that season, but it also cost no rent. This year, the beach operators say they are ready for the new 1,5 meter society. The entrepreneurs on the coast have used the past few weeks to adjust and prepare their catering establishments so that they immediately comply with the RIVM guidelines.
