Brouwershaven — also called 'Brouw' by the locals — breathes history and charm. Thanks to its location right on the Grevelingenmeer, it is the ultimate base for both peace seekers and active enthusiasts. You absolutely cannot miss this:

• The Historic Marina: The beating heart of the town. Stroll along the quay, admire the traditional sailing ships, and sit down at one of the cosy terraces for a Zeeland 'bolus' (cinnamon pastry) or fresh mussels.
• Water Sports on the Grevelingenmeer: The largest saltwater lake in Western Europe is literally at your feet. It is the ultimate hotspot for sailing, windsurfing, paddleboarding (SUP), and diving.
• Town Hall and the St. Nicholas Church: Admire the beautiful facade of the monumental town hall on the Markt and visit the impressive Great or St. Nicholas Church.
• Cycling over the dikes: Schouwen-Duiveland is known for its excellent cycle paths. Cycle along the coastlines, spot seals on the sandbanks, and enjoy the vast Zeeland landscape.

To get the most out of your holiday in Zeeland, we have gathered a few handy insider tips for you:

• Come by bike (or rent one): Brouwershaven is compact and the surrounding nature is at its best from the cycle path. For example, you can cycle to the North Sea beaches at Renesse or Scharendijke in no time.
• Visit the weekly market: During the summer months, there is a regular, cosy market on the Markt of Brouwershaven. The perfect place to taste local Zeeland regional products.
• Tides and seals: Bring binoculars! At low tide, seals often bask in the sun on the sandbanks in the Grevelingenmeer and the Oosterschelde.
