Why Scheveningen Beach matters
Scheveningen is the Hague's beach, a broad stretch of sand with a promenade, a pier and a long line of beach clubs. In summer it is busy with swimmers and sun-seekers, and in winter it is a windy place for a bracing walk. The sunset is excellent, and the fish restaurants are worth a try.
Talking points
- It has a pier extending into the sea.
- Beach clubs open in summer.
- It is reachable by tram from The Hague centre.
