Things to do for adults

1. Cycling in Zeeland: rent bikes at fietspoint Goes at central station. You receive 10% discount if you indicate you are our guests. www.Fietspointgoes.nl Phone is: +31(0)113214170

2. Collect oysters at the dike at Kattendijke and eat them at home. Eat them raw or grill them in the oven.

3. Yerseke, the mecca for mussels, lobsters, oysters and fresh fish. Go directly to the fishmonger himself. Our recommendation: Van As or the Viskeete for the very best fresh fish to take away and / or for a quick lunch.

4. To the beach: Vrouwenpolder is our favorite and a 20 minute drive. A nice child-friendly beach club is De Dam. www.de-dam.nl, Strand 80, 4354 XZ Vrouwenpolder. A small-scale beach closer is a 15-minute drive in Wemeldinge.
