Suiderstrand

Suiderstrand is a beach pavilion in Kijkduin and Loosduinen, The Hague. The business is located at Strandslag 2a, near the Zuiderstrand. Public business information lists the phone number 070 368 9107 and the email address [email protected] as contact details. The pavilion focuses on food, drinks, gatherings, and beach-related hospitality.

The founders are not publicly documented in the available information. However, Bas Tuijt is mentioned in public sources as the owner. LinkedIn results link him to Suiderstrand as owner from January 2021 onwards. Entree Magazine also names him as the owner of the beach pavilion.

Tuijt’s background in the hospitality industry is well documented. A trade publication notes that he had his first job at a beach pavilion at the age of thirteen. At fifteen, he worked at another pavilion, where he met two future business partners. After a few years of study, he returned to work in the beach hospitality sector.

An exact opening date is not publicly recorded in the provided sources. A public social media post does mention a celebration of “12.5 years of Suider Summers” on Sunday, September 28. This indicates a long-standing presence of the pavilion within the beach hospitality scene of Kijkduin, but it does not provide a formal founding date.

The concept of Suiderstrand is described in the available information as a beach pavilion with multiple functions. The website highlights food and drink, weddings, parties, and sustainability as key features. According to the contact information, the pavilion is open from March through October. Weddings and parties are available year-round, according to the same information.

Suiderstrand’s coffee service is linked in public information to Koffie Lovers and Fiorenzato burrs. This information comes from a public Instagram result. The available sources do not provide a complete technical overview of the coffee preparation. They do, however, list which drinks are on the menu.

The menu includes standard espresso and milk-based drinks. These include coffee, cappuccino, espresso, espresso macchiato, cortado, double espresso, latte macchiato, Dutch coffee (koffie verkeerd), flat white, and iced coffee. The menu also lists options such as oat milk, decaf, and an extra shot.

In addition to regular coffee drinks, the menu also features alcoholic coffee beverages. It lists Irish coffee, Spanish coffee, Italian coffee, French coffee, and Suider Coffee with Frangelico. These drinks place coffee within a broader hospitality menu, where hot drinks and mixed variants coexist.

Manual brewing methods are not publicly documented in the provided information. No data was found regarding pour-over, batch brew, Aeropress, or V60. Based on the available data, the focus is primarily on espresso, milk-based drinks, and coffee drinks with alcohol.

Suiderstrand also uses the pavilion as a venue for gatherings. Public information mentions weddings, corporate parties, and private celebrations as formats. The page on weddings and parties states that Suiderstrand is an official wedding venue. This gives the pavilion a broader role than just daily beach hospitality.

For corporate gatherings, a collaboration with Flitz-events is mentioned. According to the available information, this partner has an internal presence at Suiderstrand. Team outings involve sporting and adventurous activities organized through Flitz-events. The sources describe this as part of the event offerings.

Social media results also mention public programming around “Suider Summers.” This includes, among other things, barbecue, DJs, and cocktails. A “Super Sunday Suider Funday” is also mentioned. Workshops, coffee tastings, or exhibitions are not documented in the provided sources.

Sustainability is a separate component of Suiderstrand’s public communication. The sustainability information states that the company uses local suppliers wherever possible to limit CO2 emissions. The pavilion also mentions the reuse of decorative materials, cardboard cups, cardboard straws, recycling of cardboard boxes, and predominantly LED lighting.

Suiderstrand’s CSR declaration is dated May 11, 2020, in The Hague. It states that the company aims to integrate sustainability into its processes, services, and products. The declaration also mentions reducing waste streams and limiting the use of gas, water, electricity, and fossil fuels.

The same declaration notes that Suiderstrand intends to improve its procurement practices. The company specifies that it prefers goods and services that are sustainable and, ideally, carry recognized environmental, sustainability, or social labels. Green Key lists Suiderstrand as a beach pavilion in The Hague, within the province of South Holland.

The available information also includes data on Koffie Lovers as a supplier. The company itself claims to work with Fairtrade and organic coffees and to import some coffies directly from farmers. However, the provided sources do not show that Suiderstrand uses these origin claims in its own communications.

Suiderstrand appears in various public guides and trade media. DenHaag.com lists the pavilion at Strandslag 2a and highlights Green Key as a quality label. Green Key includes Suiderstrand as a certified participant in the beach pavilion category. Strandtenten.nl and Strand Den Haag also mention the location and practical details.

Trade media primarily place Suiderstrand in the context of beach hospitality in Kijkduin. Entree Magazine featured the pavilion in a 2025 article about beach clubs in Kijkduin, naming Bas Tuijt as the owner. Out.of.Home Shops published a hospitality article in 2023 about cocktails, including comments from Tuijt as the owner of Strandpaviljoen Suiderstrand.

For coffee enthusiasts, the available material offers insight mainly into the type of coffee menu and the context in which coffee is served. Suiderstrand does not present coffee as a standalone specialty concept, but rather as part of a broader beach pavilion offering that includes hospitality, events, and seasonal operations.
