General presentation
Côte de Zélande
Wide beaches, dunes, family resorts, dikes and sea light between Walcheren and Schouwen-Duiveland.
The discovery of the coast of Zeeland revolves around Domburg, Westkapelle and Renesse. The stay thus alternates between the coastline, natural areas and the countryside, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: very seasonal and windy. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Domburg
Domburg combines sea front and station life in a single relief of sensations: sand, alignments and clear architecture. The quality of the place comes from the contrast between open space, low points and views towards the horizon as the journey moves.
Place
Westkapelle
Westkapelle lives in front of the North Sea, protected by a powerful dike and marked by its lighthouse visible from afar. The ridge paths, the beach and the traces of coastal defence give a concrete reading of Zeeland, between low village, sea wind and wide horizon.
Place
Renesse
Renesse lives at the pace of the coast, between a holiday village, wide dunes and long beaches open to the wind. The place is especially suitable for those looking for a day of sand, bike and sea air, with easy transitions between terraces, slopes and access to the sea.
Place
Zoutelande
Zoutelande lends itself to a walk alternating large spaces and sheltered corners, with a relation to the sea very direct. It feels the texture of the coastline in each visual sequence, from dunes to alignments of the promenade.
