Queen Máxima Officially Opens Renovated Boulevard in Scheveningen

On Thursday afternoon, April 2, 2026, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands officially opened the renovated boulevard in Scheveningen. The Scheveningen boulevard, for decades one of the most well-known and most visited coastal promenades in the Netherlands, has been upgraded in recent years to better accommodate the increasing number of visitors.

Queen Máxima’s visit began with a plenary program, including a speech by Mayor Van Zanen and a presentation on the renovation. This was followed by a walk along the boulevard, during which she was informed about the redevelopment and spoke with entrepreneurs and other stakeholders involved in the project.

The redevelopment focused on creating an accessible and attractive public space, with attention to sustainability and the connection between the beach, the sea, and the city. With more space for pedestrians and recreation, as well as improved facilities, the boulevard contributes to the economic and cultural development of The Hague’s coastal area.
