Scheveningen, seaside resort and fishing port, Zuid-Holland provincie, western Netherlands, on the North Sea. Fishing has been an occupation there since the 14th century. Charles II embarked from Scheveningen to return to England at the Restoration (1660), and King William I landed nearby in 1813. Scheveningen’s wide sandy beaches have made it the most popular of the Dutch coastal resorts since the first bathing establishment opened there in 1818. Its harbours, recently enlarged with the addition of a freight and container terminal, shelter much of the Dutch herring fleet, and its industries include fish-freezing plants and canneries. Notable landmarks are the domed Kurhaus, or Casino (1887), and the Fish Auction Hall, the leading one in Europe. Scheveningen is administratively a part of The Hague.
