Netherlands Scheveningen Pier

The Scheveningen Pier, home to the Netherlands' first Ferris wheel built above the sea, offers breathtaking views of the 11-kilometre stretch of beach and the skyline of The Hague. For the best experience, visit in the early morning or at sunset, when the light is especially stunning. And if you’re looking to get creative with your photos, bring along a tripod—you can experiment with a long exposure to capture the mesmerising motion of the waves, adding a touch of drama to your shots.

Tip: try setting your shutter speed to a few seconds just as the waves roll in for an even more striking shot, and use a neutral density filter if it’s bright outside. The result will be a stunningly smooth, misty look in the water that perfectly complements the vibrant skies.

Move around, there is so much to discover. Move closer to the pier, move further away, look for reflections etc.

Easy to reach, there is a lot of parking available and it is a short walk.
