The tourist industry in Scheveningen goes back more than a century. At the turn of the last century people would travel to the town to follow a health cure. The Kurhaus, or cure house, now splendid hotel, still bears witness to this period.

New facilities

Over the last few years, however, Scheveningen has undergone extensive works, including the development of new facilities along the promenade, a casino, a Circustheater, a mega-cinema, a Pier and an indoor shopping centre.

Excellent accessibility

Both Scheveningen and The Hague offer great opportunities for a day out. Scheveningen boasts excellent accessibility. "Scheveningen - it's so easy to get to" was the name of the project which introduced facilities for visitors to the resort and the beach, including parking garages, shuttle buses and direct tram connections between The Hague and the coast of Scheveningen.
