Westenschouwen, not to be confused with the neighbouring forestry Westerschouwen, is located on the Kop van Schouwen. The quiet village has changed into a lovely holiday destination for the whole family over the years.

The village is situated directly on the border of the forestry with the largest forest of Zeeland ‘De Domeinen’. Next to multiple hiking routes that cross herds of Shetland ponies and Highland cattle, you can also unwind on a tour together with your horse or choose one of the active cycling- or mountainbike routes.

The beautiful landscape is multifaceted. The woody areas and large lakes border to a vast dune area. This diverse dune landscape is characterized by beautiful flora and fauna. You can hear the waves crashing on shore in the whole area as the beach directly borders to the woods and dunes.

A well-known hotspot of Westenschouwen is the tower called the Plompe Toren. On top, Westenschouwen is nearly one kilometre situated from the famous Deltaworks with the impressive flood barrier the Oosterscheldekering. You can actually see both from the beaches near Westenschouwen. Next to the island Neeltje Jans, you can also find the corresponding family waterpark here.

Westenschouwen has a couple of nice restaurants and a small supermarket that is open in summer. In addition, there is an adventurous climbing park for both younger and elderly people. The neighbouring village Burgh-Haamstede, the cities Zierikzee, Veere, Middelburg or the coastal towns Renesse and Domburg are also worth a visit.
