Scheveningen Pier

Getting around: Scheveningen Pier sits along Scheveningen Beach, reachable from central The Hague by tram in about 20-25 minutes.
Hours: Open at all times as a public pier; individual attractions like the Ferris wheel and bungee jump keep their own seasonal operating hours, generally reduced in winter.

Scheveningen Pier extends 350 meters out over the North Sea, offering a mix of shops, restaurants, a Ferris wheel, and a bungee jump platform for those wanting more thrill than a simple walk provides. Rebuilt several times over its history after storm damage and fires, the current pier reflects a fairly modern, entertainment-focused approach rather than a purely historic structure.

It's a natural pairing with a Scheveningen Beach visit, giving an elevated vantage point out over the water and a slightly more active, commercial complement to the beach and boulevard below.
