The Veerse Meer: created by the construction of the Zandkreek Dam and the Veerse Gatdam and one of the most famous natural areas of Zeeland. This Natura 2000 area is very popular with nature and water sports enthusiasts with over 2030 hectares of pristine nature. The lake is approximately 22 kilometers in length and is home to many uninhabited islets, including five that are specifically designated for birds. You can discover the other islands on a boat trip on the Veerse Meer. On the island of De Haringvreter, you have the opportunity to come face to face with fallow deer. Near Wolphaartsdijk, on the Middelplaten, you can spot Konik horses.
In Zeeland you can find water all around you. So it makes sense that it's a popular destination for water sports lovers. The Veerse Meer, the Oosterschelde, and the North Sea are all within reach of your luxurious holiday villa on the Zeeland coast. Relax on the water? We highly recommend going island hopping on the Veerse Meer. Prefer some more action? Go water skiing, surfing, or kite surfing.
Island hopping on the Veerse Meer
Unwind during a day on the Veerse Meer. Rent a dinghy or sailboat and go explore. The Veerse Meer is an artificial brackish lake which formed after the construction of the Veerse Gatdam. You can find no less than 17 islands, 5 of which are only for the birds. You can visit all other 12 islands by boat. Enjoy the quietness here; the sounds of the birds and a lovely picknick. On some islands you can even spot konik horses or fallow deer. Island hopping is a unique way of experiencing the Veerse Meer.
Canoeing
