Scheveningse Haven

Scheveningse Haven marks the point where the Verversingskanaal meets the harbor complex at Scheveningen.

The canal, which runs from the southeastern edge of the old center of Den Haag toward the North Sea, connects here with the Tweede Binnenhaven via a shipping lock near the Kranenburgweg.

From the Tweede Binnenhaven, water continues through the Voorhaven and Buitenhaven before reaching the Noordzee.

The connection at this location dates to the expansion of the Scheveningse zeehaven in 1930, when the canal's original direct outlet to the sea — where water once flowed across the beach through a sea lock — was filled in and replaced by the current route through the harbor.
