OOSTERSCHELDE
Oosterschelde is an expansive tidal water and nature reserve. It is perfect for the more seasoned watersports lovers, with maximum flow speeds of about 2 knots (3.8 kilometres per hour). Stay at Roompot Marina to the west, where you will also find the imposing flood barriers. Neeltje Jans is a working island hosting a permanent exhibition on the tremendous power of water during tidal motions.
Zierikzee with its historic inner harbour and museums offers a sheltered mooring place to spend the night.
Colijnsplaat lies across from Zierikzee, a rural and pastoral village that promises a pleasurable stay. Moor your yacht in Goes, at the heart of the town's historic centre, surrounded by its lively atmosphere.
To the southeast of Oosterschelde a jumble of sticks marks the storage and cultivation locations for mussels and oysters. These shellfish are brought ashore in Yerseke, to be enjoyed in the local specialist restaurants. For some great shopping, visit Bergen op Zoom, or enjoy a dink on one of the many pavement cafes in the city centre.
