Interestingly, from among the foreign visitors, we receive the most number from our neighbouring friend, Germany. It looks like the beaches in the Netherlands are very popular there.
Cocomo Beach Club.
Strandweg - Scheveningen Boulevard.
In my opinion, the best thing to do here at Scheveningen Beach is to hang out and chill at the plethora of Beach Clubs on the boulevard. There are so many to choose! And it can be difficult because the beach clubs are pushing their standards to the next level. There is one thing for sure though, there is always a beach club for every taste
But Dutchman and I have our preference:
- Must have a comfortable lounge area or roomy seats with pillows (the more pillows, the better!)
- The music does not have to be a favourite of ours but please no super hard, metal type or local Frans Bauer type okay
- Must be directly under the sun and a part of it not (so I can switch from time to time, cannot stand too much direct heat)
- Must have a relaxing atmosphere!
Unfortunately not many beach clubs could pass the #2 on our preference list. Many of them have really super hard music on and some even have live shows as well. The noise is just too much and is a turn-off. We want a beach club with laid back background type of music where we can talk and relax. We have a name for this in Dutch -- Niets aan de hand muziek =)
Anyway, we decided to hang out at Cocomo Beach Club. I was not really a fan of the bright colour scheme but it was the beach club that came the closest to our other requirements, especially #2. The beach club beside it had a more welcoming design and relaxing furnitures but they were blasting some very hard rock music. No way. Thank you. Goodbye!
It is best to come here in Scheveningen during the summer months of course, when the beach clubs are open for service. Many of these beach clubs offer parties as well, with DJ's turning tables and lots of booze and dancing the night away.
If you come to the Netherlands during summer, you have got to try the Dutch style of beaching, chilling, and if you are young and into more action, partying.
Here is a list of all the beach clubs:
- Beach Clubs in Scheveningen (English)
- Strandtenten in Scheveningen (Dutch - this is a more complete version)
- The Pier is also an option to hang out
Let us start with the beach club we chose, the Cocomo Beach Club:
Waiting for our chilled drinks.
The colours at Cocomo Beach Club are particularly not my kind of colours but they do represent the summer and holiday feeling.
This can fit 2 people =)
This was my preferred spot because you are facing the beach, unfortunately someone was quick to snatch this under my nose.
Here are the other beach clubs on Strandweg - Scheveningen Boulevard:
El Nino Beach Club.
Blue Lagoon Beach Club.
Bora Bora Beach Club.
Oceans Beach House.
De Golfslag Beach Club.
