The Hague’s beach, an hour from Amsterdam
Scheveningen is where The Hague meets the North Sea: a wide sandy beach, a pier with a big wheel, and a long promenade lined with restaurants looking at the water. The grand old Kurhaus hotel still presides over the seafront.
An easy day out
It is about an hour from Amsterdam. Walk the sand, take the pier out over the waves, have a long lunch by the sea, and head home when you are ready. Your driver waits nearby, so towels, bags and the pushchair stay in the van.
Madurodam is next door
The Netherlands in miniature is three kilometres away. If you would like both, book our Madurodam trip — the beach is already included in it, at no extra cost.

Frequently asked questions
How far is Scheveningen from Amsterdam?
About 65 km by road, in The Hague — roughly an hour each way.

Does the driver wait for us?
Yes. The price includes the driver waiting, so you set the pace.
