Beach · 2–3 h · The promenade, the Kurhaus of 1818, the pier over the sea and the 50-metre Ferris wheel. Promenade free; the wheel is open daily.

Scheveningen is the beach of The Hague and of half the country: kilometres of wide sand facing the North Sea, a promenade with terraces and, in the middle, the Kurhaus, the grand spa hotel of 1818. In front leaves De Pier, a two-storey pier that goes out into the sea, with the SkyView Ferris wheel: closed, heated gondolas that rise to 50 metres above the water, with views of the coast and the city.
How to get there and what to do
Tram 9 from Den Haag Centraal arrives in about twenty minutes; by bike, another twenty along the cycle path. Stroll north along the promenade, go up the wheel (open every day: Monday to Thursday from 12:00 to 20:00 and at weekends from 11:00) and walk down to the harbour, about 25 minutes away, where the fishmongers and fish restaurants are. In summer the beach fills with wooden beach bars; in winter, the promenade is for wind and a warm coat.
