Jeanzz beach bar is located on the beach and the perfect place for a meal, drink or refreshing ice cream.

HIKING AND CYCLING

It is also lovely to enjoy hiking and cycling around the lake. Someone who is walking or cycling along the Grevelingen sees, feels, smells, hear and tastes more. The many hiking and biking trails along the Lake, a plethora of bicycle cafés and the ability to link the route to a nice trip in between, ensuring that your route along the lake never will be the same! If you walk or cycle along the waterfront you can see the seals. A great spot to see the seals is the Brouwersdam. They won't be afraid of you, they will show off earlier!

There are three wrecks close to each other, of which Le Serpent, the sixty-metre-long concrete ship, is only for the experienced diver.

No diving experience? No problem. The Grevelingen is an excellent area to get acquainted with the unique underwater world of the Delta. Sealand Diving diving school (located on the camping itself) will teach you the tricks of the trade!

Seals on Schouwen-Duiveland are not that hard to find. The beautiful nature, the clean water, the space and the rest have a positive impact on these animals and they thrive here. Seals feel reasonably at home on not too large distance from people. You will find some seals in the middle of the lake or they swim curious over the water. They relax a lot on the beach and enjoy the sun.

Create a pleasant boat trip on the Grevelingen lake with the party and cruise ship "Grevelingen". You create a speed of 1.5 hours from port of Den Osse along Port Zélande to the visitors centre Grevelingen near Ouddorp, where the boat welcomes new passengers. Then you'll sail to the Hompelvoet (a beautiful natural area where many birds breed) and on the way you can see and hear the seagulls. The boat goes between Stampersplaat and Dwars in de weg (where semi-wild fjords horses run), past Brouwershaven back to port of Den Osse.
