What do you enjoy working on the beach?
There is no doubt about that for Kyra. “The people I work with. My colleagues and I form a close-knit group of friends. We also visit each other outside working hours and even outside the beach season as much as possible.” She shares that she sometimes gets questions about why she chooses to work on the beach, as it can be really tough. “But it’s just really fun. And because we are such a close-knit team, we help each other through busy days. If it gets too much, we can relax together and let off steam together.”
What do you dislike most about working on the beach?
“Mainly that some guests feel that you should do everything for them, even if it is an unreasonable request. Men in particular can sometimes really cross the line. They touch me or talk to me in a condescending way. Someone recently put an arm around me. When I asked if he didn’t want to do that because I felt uncomfortable, he said it’s ‘part of the service after all’.”
Kyra isn’t the only one this has happened to. Her colleagues also have to deal with transgressive behaviour. “I absolutely do not tolerate that, but I certainly try to deal with it in a decent way here at work. That is sometimes very difficult.”

What do you do besides work in the beach bar?
“I’m studying applied psychology in Leiden, but not for much longer. I hope to graduate after this summer. I only have to hand in my thesis.” And the beach? “Of course I want to find a job in my field, after all I have studied hard for it. But I would still love to help out in the beach bar on some summer days now and then.”
What is the nicest compliment you can get from a guest?
“Since this year I have had a managerial position, where I ensure that control and order are maintained in the beach bar. That’s why I really enjoy hearing from guests that I have everything under control and that I see it when their drink is empty. They don’t have to ask, I’ll come to them myself.” She also likes to hear when guests mention that they are really happy with the service and would like to come back more often. “In this way we will continue to see many recognizable faces throughout the season, with whom we can have a chat again!”
What is the tastiest dish we have eaten at your place? can order?
“There is a lot of goodies on the menu, but my favorite this year is without a doubt the gamba piri piri, with black tiger prawns, chili-garlic oil and toast. I always like fish dishes, especially if it is a bit spicy. Then this dish is highly recommended!”
What is your favorite summer drink to serve?
“The Aperol Spritz! It is a delicious Italian drink that is fresh, bitter and sweet. It has the perfect balance of flavors. It lasts me quite a long time and it is wonderful on a summer day. Especially if you serve it well chilled with lots of ice.”
Why do you want the Beachunk/Beachbabe from 2023?
Kyra remains modest there. “There are a lot of great people working in our team, all of whom are fully committed to WOW. We do it together, and try to do better every year. I didn’t expect them to nominate me. Why I want to be beach babe of the year? I still really enjoy working on the beach after eight years, even though there are days when you completely collapse. The beach really feels like a second home, because you spend so many days there. All those years of fun memories and funny moments deserve to be put in the spotlight!”
We think that the ladies and gentlemen who work on the beach deserve to be put in the spotlight. In the coming weeks we will introduce you to various hunks and babes from The Hague. When the last candidate has introduced himself, we ask you to vote for your favourite. The winner or winner wins eternal fame and a beautiful trophy with the title Beachbabe/hunk 2023. This was last year’s winner!
