Parking at the beach

Are you driving to Scheveningen or Kijkduin by car or motorcycle? Prepare your journey in advance. The fastest way to get to the beach is to park at the edge of the city and then continue your journey by tram.

Park + Beach

Park inexpensively in 1 of the 2 Q-Park parking garages and continue your journey to the beach on the tram or by bike. Reserve your ticket in advance online for parking and the tram or bike. You pay € 5 for the parking and tram ticket or use of a bike for 1 person. For an extra person you pay € 1. A maximum of 4 co-passengers can travel on this ticket (excluding the 1st person who pays € 5). Park + Beach is available between 1 May and 1 October.

More information can be found on the website of Park+Beach.

Park + Ride

There are also other Park-and-ride facilities. You park at the edge of the city at a low rate. You then continue your journey on public transportation. Plan to transfer at Central Station or Hollands Spoor.

In a number of streets in Scheveningen and the Old Centrum 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.
