Discover - Stay by the Sea

Zoutelande, glad you’re here!

Ever since the huge hit by the Zeeland band Bløf in 2017, everyone has heard of Zoutelande, and many day-trippers and tourists have found their way to the village.

Zoutelande is known as one of the sunniest places in the Netherlands. And as soon as you’re here, you’ll understand why. The combination of the sea, high dunes, and the open Zeeland landscape creates a sense of peace, space, and freedom.

The wide sandy beach is within walking distance and is perfect for long walks along the shore, a refreshing dip, or a relaxing day in the sun. From the tops of the dunes, you can enjoy a stunning view of the North Sea, where ships sail by in the distance. It’s no wonder this stretch of coastline is also known as the “Zeeland Riviera.”

In the charming village center, you’ll find cute boutiques, ice cream parlors, outdoor cafes, and cozy restaurants where you can enjoy fresh fish, local specialties, and a good glass of wine. Everything is close by, so you won’t really need your car during your stay.

The surrounding area is just waiting to be explored. Hop on a bike and follow the winding paths through the dunes toward Domburg or Westkapelle, or take a stroll along the coast at sunset. The historic town of Middelburg is also just a short distance away and is definitely worth a visit.

Oostkapelle

Oostkapelle is the kind of village that immediately wins you over. No mass tourism, no rush—just open spaces, nature, and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. What makes Oostkapelle unique is the special combination of beach and forest within walking distance of each other. Where else can you find that?

The wide, clean beach is known as one of the most beautiful in Zeeland. Here you can enjoy peace and quiet, fresh sea air, and impressive views of the North Sea. Tucked away between the woods and the dunes, on the outskirts of Oostkapelle, lies the beautiful Westhove Castle. This medieval castle exudes history and charm and is surrounded by the De Manteling nature reserve. With its stately towers, moat, and green surroundings, it’s a unique place to take a walk and step back in time. The transition from forest to sea gives the landscape an almost fairy-tale-like atmosphere.

In addition, Oostkapelle has a charming village center with nice shops, good restaurants, and pleasant outdoor dining areas. It’s lively in the summer but always retains its village charm. Here, you can experience genuine Zeeland hospitality.

Serooskerke

Serooskerke is a charming and peaceful village in the heart of Walcheren, surrounded by vast meadows and close to the sea. Here you can experience authentic Zeeland village life: friendly, welcoming, and wonderfully relaxed.

Thanks to its central location, you can easily reach charming coastal towns like Oostkapelle, Domburg, and Zoutelande. Hop on a bike and follow one of the many routes along dikes and country roads, or put on your hiking boots and explore the varied landscape of polders, forests, and dunes.

Families will find plenty of fun at De Jonge Johannes Play Farm, a beloved spot where children can entertain themselves for hours while parents relax on the terrace. There are also various activities in the surrounding area, from water sports on the coast to cultural excursions in historic Middelburg.

Serooskerke may be small in size, but it’s big on tranquility, space, and location. It’s a wonderful base from which to explore Walcheren—and to come home to after a day full of adventures.
