The beaches are very extensive, clean and the quality of the bathing water is good. The beaches are divided into different types. There are family beaches, natural beaches, (water) sports beaches and zones for naturism and extreme sports. The rules are on signs located at each crossing.

Vroongronden Renesse

Between Renesse and Burgh-Haamstede you will find the Vroongronden. An open drifting landscape, where farmers used to graze their cattle. Even now there are horses and cows. Here and there are pools where you can hear the frogs croaking loudly in the spring. It is a beautiful wide walking and cycling area! Are you coming around dusk? Then you can spot deer and fallow deer. The Gadrabos is part of the Vroongronden.

Boswachterij Westerschouwen

Visit Boswachterij Westerschouwen, the largest forest in Zeeland, and discover the various animals that live there. Walk the gnome path with your children and who knows, you might come across gnomes. You can experience bigger adventures on the mountain bike route or in the adjacent climbing forest. The forest has large differences in height due to its location close to the dunes. It provides a tough challenge if you go hiking, cycling or horseback riding here. At the Excursion Barn at the main entrance of the forest, on the Kraaijensteinweg in Burgh-Haamstede, you will find more information about the area and the various marked routes.
