Fun for the children: become a seal caretaker for 1 day or go on a seal safari on the Oosterschelde with the whole family.

#5. The Brouwersdam

The Brouwersdam is the second largest Delta Work. The Brouwersdam therefore plays a major role in stopping powerful waves and high water.

A visit to the surf and sailing center Brouwersdam should not be missed during your stay.
