Scheveningen has been synonomous with beach outings and vacations in the Netherlands for nearly a century and the half, and its fame extends beyond the borders of the country. Though technically a section of the city of The Hague, Scheveningen is regarded as a separate city by many, and it is indeed separated from the city by a landscape of dunes and forest. It also sports all of the attendant resources of a separate town including shops, amenities and lodging. The area also has more than a few unique attractions (most of which center on the Strandweg, or beach promenade), such as the Scheveningse Pier with its restaurants, casino and observaton tower, the many resorts with similar facilities, and the amusements like entertainment venues, museums and the Sea Life aquarium.
