During the Nazi occupation local resistance sussed out the Nazi spys by having people pronounce the name of the town Scheveningen. So don't embarrass yourself trying to say it!
5 minutes from the Hague, 15 minutes from Delft and about 40 minutes from Amsterdam; if you are looking for night life Scheveningen is the place to be.
The boardwalk is strewn with cafes and clubs, some staying open as late, or as early as 6AM.
I still haven't visited Scheveningen by day yet so I'm unable to comment on the day life, although from what I can gather it would be excellent for a day at the beach.
There is a Bungy Jump Club situated at the end of the pier and a large shopping mall, offering late night shopping on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 11pm.
There is a very large Holland Casio, difficult to miss when you step off the tram. The illuminations are fantastic, with the casino boasting a large tv screen in the center.
Cafe's and restaurants are plentiful, you could have anything from a cheese toastie to a full meal. Bars and Cafes cater for all tastes, many of which have live entertainment. The Pier ( www.pier.nl ) offers a selection of shops and has a huge a la carte restaurant at the end of it.
And for those who like em, Scheveningen has one or two coffeeshops to hunt out.
Definately the place to be for a night out!!!!!

I studied Dutch for a year at evening class due to having friends living in Leiden. This place, Scheveningen was the first place that our Dutch born teacher had us learn. I`m sure that she derived some sort of perverse pleasure out of the mess that we all made over it`s pronounciation! After the first year though, it was quite easy! Paul.
