    By car

    On busy days it is often difficult to find a parking spot at the beach. Are you planning to drive? Then it is faster and easier to park using Park + Beach or in a parking garage. On-street parking in residential areas costs € 6.50 per hour and there is a maximum time limit of 2 hours.

    In a number of residential streets in Scheveningen on-street parking costs € 50 per day without a permit. You will no longer be able to pay by the minute or hour. More information can be found in Dutch at Parkeren in Scheveningen.

    Park + Beach

    With Park + Beach you reserve a parking space in the parking garages at CS New Babylon, Malieveld and the World Forum. These garages are located just outside of Scheveningen. From there you can continue your journey quickly and easily to Scheveningen using public transportation or a shared bicycle or e-moped (scooter). See how it works and reserve your parking spot at park-beach.nl.

    Park + Bike

    With Park + Bike you reserve a parking spot at Park + Bike Duindigt. From there you can cycle to the beach using a Haagsche Stadsfiets. Look at the fees at www.parkenbikedenhaag.nl/tarieven.

    By motorcycle

    Park your motorcycle in the 2 free parking zones on the Strandweg. This is as of the Scheveningse Slag and between the Adriaan Maasplein and the Strandweg.
