Scheveningen, the Netherlands' most famous North Sea resort beach, is crowned by an iconic pier and its landmark Ferris wheel.

Highlights

  • The Hague's grand seaside resort, a wide North Sea beach with a long boulevard.
  • The landmark pier stretches out over the water with shops and viewpoints.
  • Reliable wind makes it a favourite for kitesurfing and wave watchers.
Tip: North Sea water stays cool even in summer — fine for a brisk dip, short for lounging.
