MAGICAL AFTERNOON AT SCHEVENINGEN BEACH AT THE HAGUE, HOLLAND. NOT A TROPICAL PARADISE LIKE MALAYSIAN BEACHES AS THERE ARE NO SWAYING COCONUT TREES BUT JUST AS FUN!

Scheveningen beach is famous for magnificent, 5-star Kurhaus hotel, promenade, Sea Life aquarium, beach boulevard, trendy restaurants, cafes and bars plus colorful sunsets to take the breath away!

Scheveningen is one of 8 districts of The Hague and its long clean safe beach, pier, esplanade and lighthouse are justly acclaimed.  Wind surfing and kite boarding are popular past times. 

This beach is just a short 20 minute drive from the centre of The Hague.
