Fantastic 2* Michelin restaurant overlooking the beach. It is a bit of a drive (1hr 30m) -so for a special occasion. I would suggest lunch via a stop in Middelburg and make a day of it.

One of my father's favourite places. Been there over 30 years. Have seafood, because they specialise in that, try their mussels with a good Belgian tap beer. A nice place in the middle of a lovely town. www.walcherschendolphyn.nl

Plompe Toren is a beautiful dive site, but only if the visibility is good. Diverse bottom of sand, oysters and vegetated rock formations. These are remains of the in 1581 flooded village of Koudekerke.
