Scheveningen

The Hague's most famous beach resort is Scheveningen. With its vast beaches, large number of beach bars and unique promenade and harbour, Scheveningen is the perfect location for a beach day.

Zuiderstrand

Zuiderstrand, right behind the dunes, is also known among locals as the quiet beach. You will find some authentic beach pavilions and it is a perfect place for water sports.

Kijkduin

Kijkduin's small scale gives it its charm and it is the ideal place for a brisk walk or bike ride. There is also plenty for children to do in Kijkduin. Grab a bite to eat at one of the beach pavilions or restaurants along the boulevard. The boulevard is also home to a small shopping centre for food and clothes.

Eating and staying at the beach

Barbecue at a beach pavilion, dine with a view of the sunset, have a romantic dinner in the atmospheric harbour: at the dozens of restaurants in Scheveningen and Kijkduin you can relax after a day at the beach. And the fish? It comes fresher than fresh straight from the sea! Besides those fine restaurants, you will find plenty of accommodation on the coast to spend the night. Sleeping with the sound of the North Sea in the background: who wouldn't want that?

Safely enjoying your Hague beach day

What do those different flags at the lifeguard mean? The sea looks calm, but maybe there are currents to watch out for. What are those big Miffy poles for? These may not be the things that immediately come to mind when spending a day at the beach, but they are very useful to know.
