The Hague: city of two beaches

Only a stone's throw away you will find the beautiful seaside resorts Scheveningen and Kijkduin. A direct bus and tram connects the resorts with The Hague.

Scheveningen
Scheveningen is a popular beach resort. The beach and the dunes have plenty to offer sport enthusiasts. Sailing, (kite) surfing, fishing and diving are only a few of the many water sports activities available. If it's shopping you're after, visit the Promenade, Scheveningen's indoor shopping centre, which is open seven days a week. Why not also pay a visit to the 'Sculpture by the Sea' Museum. A great collection of sculptures set in a dramatic location overlooking the North Sea.

Sealife Centre
Walk beneath the waves in the Sealife Centre in Scheveningen. It offers you a glimpse of what lies beneath the North Sea, walk through the underwater tunnel and meet the residents of the North Sea face to face. A wide variety of fresh seafood is served in Scheveningen's excellent restaurants situated on the lively boulevard or just watch the world go by with a drink on one of the many terraces or beach cafés.

Kijkduin
Unlike Scheveningen, you will not run into many tourists at Kijkduin beach. The quiet and attractive beach is great for nature lovers. The sand dunes offer wonderful hiking opportunities, and the Kijkduin area is an ideal place for cycling and horseback riding, too. Besides hiking or cycling in the dunes, there are plenty of other recreational and sporting opportunities in Kijkduin. Why not go for a game of squash or tennis or practice your swing at the beautiful nine-hole golf park of the neighbouring Tennispark Waldeck tennis club.
