Text from the free encyclopedia WIKIPEDIA may appear below to give a little background information (internal links may not  work) :

*************

Scheveningen, [ˈsxeːvənɪŋə(n)] ( listen) is one of the eight districts of The Hague, as well as a subdistrict (wijk) of that city. Scheveningen is a modern seaside resort with a long, sandy beach, an esplanade, a pier, and a lighthouse. The beach is popular for water sports such as windsurfing and kiteboarding.^[1]

The harbour is used for both fishing and tourism.

There are local politicians who are trying to re-brand Scheveningen to The Hague Beach,^[2] on account of the name being difficult to pronounce, but this has created a lot of problems with the local population that is very proud of the name Scheveningen. Initiatives have been launched to teach people all over the world how to pronounce the name properly and make videos of saying the name out loud.

It has its own dialect (Schevenings), which is different from The Hague dialect.
