Scheveningen is a district in The Hague that boasts a picturesque beach ideal for leisure activities. The beach is spacious, hygienic, and well-equipped with an advanced infrastructure. However, due to the chilly northern winds and cold water in the North Sea, swimming is only permitted for two months, namely July and August.
Numerous hotels of varying comfort levels are available, and outdoor enthusiasts can lodge at the lively surf village F.A.S.T. The beach is easily accessible by tram, bus, or bicycle, and there are diverse cafes, restaurants, bars, and souvenir shops.
The pier offers a plethora of attractions, catering establishments, and an 80-meter ferris wheel, extreme zipcord, and bungee jumping. Visitors can also explore various recreational activities, museums, and landmarks such as the old church, lighthouse, and the peculiar Kurhaus hotel. Regular recreational activities are organized on the coast, such as the August Fireworks Festival and Fisherman's Day.
With its awe-inspiring scenery and endless attractions, Scheveningen beach is an essential destination for anyone traveling to Holland.
Visitor reviews highlight that the beach location is perfect and quiet, but cleanliness is a major issue with dirty rooms, cobwebs, and dirty walls. Some visitors complain about missing necessities like towels and toilet paper, disrespectful and annoying guests, and false advertising with pictures not matching reality.
Most visitors to Scheveningen stay in the district itself to enjoy the proximity to the beach and its many attractions. The Kurhaus hotel is a popular option as it's within walking distance of the beach.
