The beach of Scheveningen is full of adventure. The Zuiderstrand (southern beach) has a lot to offer in terms of relaxation and soaking up the sun. On the other hand, the Noorderstrand (northern beach) has trendy beach pavilions where kite surfing is popular.
The sun, surf and sand are naturally the top three attractions in Scheveningen. You can wander the 4 kilometre long beach from one beach pavilion to the next. Each has its own style and character. This wide variety is what makes Scheveningen beach so much fun and so exciting. The Zuiderstrand (southern beach) has been hit by surfing fever and the Noorderstrand (northern beach) has trendy beach pavilions where kite surfing is popular. Looking for some peace and quiet? Within 5 minutes walk away you will enter into the sand dunes (from the Harstenhoekweg) where you can walk and cycle to the nearest quiet beach.
Seaside resort Scheveningen is a great place for an invigorating walk or hike through the dunes any time of the year. If you are planning to bring your dog, please note that dogs are not allowed on the beach from May 15th through October 1rst. On Noorderstrand Beach, from Zwarte Pad, and on Zuiderstrand Beach, from the Fuutlaan/Kwatellaan exit, dogs are allowed without a leash. You are kindly requested to remove your dog's droppings.
