Scheveningen Strand is the Netherlands' most famous and vibrant seaside resort, offering a vast, wide, and kilometers long sandy beach backed by an equally lively boulevard. Unlike many quieter coastal areas, Scheveningen is a fully integrated seaside city experience, dominated by the historic Kurhaus Hotel and the iconic Scheveningen Pier, which features a large Ferris wheel, bungee jumping, and ...

On a chilly September afternoon, as the lazy winds whips in off the North Sea and the surf is attractive only to very well wrapped up surfer dudes and dudettes, the beach attractions may seem limited to the rest of us. I actually really like the beach under those conditions - it's bracing and all that, but it would have been nice if a few more eating and drinking places and been open at that time.

Great beach - you can either go for a walk on the pier, go on the Ferris wheel 🎡, go to the sand, take a seat at one of the many restaurants by the beach, have a picnic on the sand, go for a ride on the train along the neighborhood and the coast line (my 4 year old insisted and it was fun!). The options are endless!

Great beach with a lively vibe! I really enjoyed my time at Scheveningen Beach. The area is full of life, with plenty of beachfront bars and terraces to relax and grab a drink. The pier is great for a walk, and the Ferris wheel offers amazing views over the sea. A fun and interesting place to spend the day – highly recommended if you’re visiting The Hague!
