The area is bordered by the North Sea, an imaginary line between beach pole 105 and the De Savornin Lohmanlaan, the Machiel Vrijenhoeklaan, the Duinlaan, the Kijkduinsestraat, the Ockenburghstraat, the Loosduinse Hoofdstraat, the Monsterseweg and the municipal border with Monster.

Kijkduin is a seaside resort on the North Sea coast of the province of South Holland in the Netherlands.

In the late 19th century, the seaside resort arose at the narrowest spot in the dunes on the south-western side of The Hague.

The bathing hotel stood lonely on the top of the white dunes for a period of time.

[5] During and shortly after the Second World War half of the buildings in Kijkduin were demolished as a result of the Atlantik Wall, which was a massive defensive line built by the German occupation force.

The polder quickly grew into one of the largest campsites in Europe, which attracted large groups (especially young people) to Kijkduin.

In the beach area behind the dunes, the municipality places the pueblo gardens with recreational facilities and sports fields in between.

However, the name Ockenburg appears in literature for the first time around 1650, when the poet and physician Jacob Westerbaen bought the savage dune landscape south of The Hague and founded the Ockenburgh estate - Jacob's 'Eden in the Duyn'.

Furthermore, Elisabeth Pauw, baroness douarière Van den Boetzelaer, ordered in 1746 land surveyor P. Looten to measure and drawn the Ockenburgh estate.

Furthermore, in 1919, the Ockenburgh Airfield was constructed on the site which marks nowadays the end of the Machiel Vrijenhoeklaan.

[6] In the same year the sports park in Ockenburgh, which was built in 1936, was converted into a military auxiliary airfield.

A large tent was placed on the site where recently purchased Douglas 8a-3N aircraft from the United States were assembled.

In order to provide a good defence of the site, they did not have enough time to prepare for the German invasion of the Netherlands.

[8] During the Battle for The Hague Ockenburgh was a stage of heavy fighting between Dutch and German troops.

Due to the large German superiority with their better armament, the depot groups were pushed back to Loosduinen after 2 hours of heavy fighting.

The Germans failed to push through to the centre of The Hague to capture the Queen, the government and the Dutch High Command.

Another large group of German soldiers could escape the Dutch encirclement in the late evening of 11 to 12 May and reach Overschie via a nocturnal march.
