The Scheveningen Pier is a pier in the North Sea near Scheveningen. The building, which opened in 1961 and replaced the old pier from 1901, serves as a catering, shopping and entertainment complex. The pier was closed in October 2013 because it no longer met the fire safety requirements, but after a major refurbishment, it was partially opened on 18 July 2015.
The pier consists of a completely covered promenade with an open walking deck and four islands at the end. On the rear island on the right (the tower island) there is an observation tower with a viewing platform at a height of 45 metres that - in ideal weather conditions - offers views of up to 17 kilometres. A pancake restaurant is located at the foot of the tower and there is a bungee jumping installation on the tower. In the building on the front island on the left (called Sun Island or South Island) is a restaurant (Pier South).
