Scheveningen is Den Haag's city beach, so the area is well built-up and the whole promenade offers any sort of entertainment. Scheveningen rivals Zandvoort as the most popular spot in Holland. In summer it turns into a busy but nice spot whit a great atmosphere. There are not many waves in Holland but if you are looking for some waves, then Scheveningen will be the place where you are looking for.
The webcam is pointed precisely on the kitespot. See you in Scheveningen!
