Deltapontjes 2020 [English]

Goeree-Overflakkee tourist attractions Goeree-Overflakkee is a great starting point for active day trips, such as a day at the beach, cycling or walking trips, or a contemplative stroll. The natural surroundings are unspoilt, and the coastline and beaches are wonderful. Head into nature, on your own accord or with a forester, and spot deer, wild horses, heck cattle or seals. The White-tailed Eagle, Spoonbill or Sandwich Tern are some of the local bird species you may encounter, from one of the bird huts or from bird boulevard Hellegatsplaten, or from the TIJ bird observatory Stellendam. Children can explore the natural playground Atlantia in Middelharnis or Stellebos in Stellendam. Basking in the local culture Culture vultures will love Middelharnis and Sommelsdijk: two places with a wonderfully historic village centre. At the Sommelsdijk regional museum, you can find out about the history of Goeree-Overflakkee. Around the inner harbour of Middelharnis, you can have a drink or bite outside, and it’s fun to shop there too. It’s also worth taking a look in the historic Menheerse Werf shipyard while you’re there. In the summertime, there’s a boat you can take over to the nature and bird island of Bliek, within the Haringvliet. Day out Any visit to Stellendam wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the seal shelter A Seal – definitely one for the bucket list, and where, in its visitor centre, you can find out more about the habitat of the seals. Another fun-packed family destination is Faunapark Flakkee in Nieuwe-Tonge. This is a beautiful park with various species of animals. Beach fun If you’re a fan of the sea and the beach, then Ouddorp and the Brouwersdam will please you with their broad sandy beaches and extensive dune valley! The Brouwersdam is the ultimate spot for windsurfers, foilboarders and kitesurfers from all over the world. Experience the fun for yourself during a surf clinic, or watch as the surfers challenge the waves. There are also some great beach bars to stop at. Accommodation and facilities In addition to beaches and nature, the villages and marinas also have plenty of atmosphere, and Ouddorp and Middelharnis are great for shopping. There are various food and drink locales and accommodation options – along the coast, within nature, or among the buzz of one of the towns. At the VVV Inspiration Point in Ouddorp you can find inspiration, information and cycle / walking routes. Tel: 0187 681789 vvvgoeree-overflakkee.nl. 37 Information
