Quick ride by bicycle from Scheveningen to Wassenaar

Ready for a scenic ride? This route takes you from lively Scheveningen, the famous beach district of The Hague, all the way up to the leafy elegance of Wassenaar—one of the Netherlands’ greenest (and chicest) villages.

You’ll start next to the North Sea, where Scheveningen’s iconic pier and endless beachfront make for a vibrant starting point. The ride itself is very relaxed: it’s about 13.5 kilometers on mostly paved cycle paths, weaving you through quiet neighborhoods and stretches of beautiful Dutch dunes. Expect very gentle slopes along the way, nothing too dramatic, just enough to stretch your legs.

As you approach Wassenaar, you’ll notice the landscape shift to lush woodlands and grand estates—a real treat for fans of classic Dutch countryside. Wassenaar is well-known for its stately homes, parks, and charming tea gardens, perfect for a post-ride treat.

In short: beach, dunes, woods, and mansions—all in just under an hour’s ride. What more could you want?
