Hook of Holland, Maritime district in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

The beach settlement extends along the North Sea coast at the entrance of the New Waterway, featuring sandy stretches and multiple ferry terminals.

The construction of the New Waterway shipping canal between 1866 and 1868 transformed this coastal area into a vital gateway for maritime traffic to Rotterdam.

The Atlantikwall Museum and Fort 1881 present military heritage through preserved bunkers and defensive structures from the Second World War period.

Regular ferry services connect the port to Harwich and North Killingholme in England, while metro lines link the district to Rotterdam central station.

The Kindertransport memorial marks the departure point of Jewish children who escaped to England before World War II through humanitarian rescue missions.
