The Westkapelle Creek

Discover the Westkapelle Creek

Just a short distance from EuroParcs De Zeeuwse Duinen lies the beautiful Westkapelle Creek, a special nature area where water, woodland and tranquillity come together. The creek was formed during the Second World War in 1944, when the sea dike was bombed and large amounts of seawater flowed into the surrounding land. The deep channels created at the time are now the creeks of Westkapelle.

Walking, cycling and birdwatching

Various walking, cycling and horse-riding trails run around the creek. Take a peaceful walk along the water and through the surrounding woodland, or explore the area around Westkapelle by bike. The creek is also a great spot for birdwatching. You may see cormorants, ducks, geese and other bird species here.

A relaxing outing on the Zeeland coast

Combine a walk around the creek with a visit to Westkapelle, the sea dike or the beach. 

The Westkapelle Creek is a wonderful place to enjoy nature, peace and open space while staying close to the beautiful Zeeland coast.
