Scheveningen Beach is the most popular beach resort in the Netherlands. Long sandy beaches, shops, bars, restaurants, attractions, the pier, the lighthouse and the boulevard guarantee lots of fun!

Harbour and beach
Scheveningen consists of the harbour and a beach area, both areas are very popular by tourists. In the harbour you can find many restaurants and bars and enjoy lots of fresh seafood. North of the harbour you can find the most popular beach area with lots of beach bars, terraces, restaurants and the pier and the boulevard. Lots of hip and young people visit this area, but many families are attracted to this area as well. South of the harbour you will find more quiet beaches that are more family oriented.

All day fun!
The area north of the harbour gets very crowded on a hot day and it will be very difficult to find a parking spot if you come by car. It will even be difficult to find a free spot at the beach, so you have to come early! The good thing is that you can visit Scheveningen all day long, from early in the morning till late in the evening.

More than a beach
In addition to relax at the beach you can stroll along the nice boulevard with many fun attractions like a carrousel, mini-scooters, bouncers and arcade games. There are many booths where you can buy fresh seafood including some very nice local specialties. Furthermore you can visit the mega cinema, the casino, the theatre, the bowling, the indoor shopping mall and the big Sealife aquarium, where you can see sharks, stingrays, sea turtles and other fish. At the pier you can walk over the sea , enjoy the shops and visit the lookout tower. You can also climb the Scheveningen lighthouse and enjoy the view over the beach.

Nightlife
In the evening people leave the beach and move to the bars and restaurants along the boulevard. Nightlife in Scheveningen is very good and continues till late in the night!

Festivals
