1. Nice and close to- Sluis
Fifteen minutes' drive from the campsite you will find the tasteful fortified town of Sluis. Known for its famous Belfry, ramparts, cozy terraces and beautiful stores. A museum tip for young and old is the Bizarium. A place full of bizarre inventions, both crazy and scientific.
Tip: want to add a bike ride to it? From the campsite you can cycle to Sluis in half an hour and if you take the panoramic route via the coast and cadzand it will take you 45 minutes.
2. Historic Bruges & Ghent
You wouldn't expect it, but these cities with their own characters are not miles away from the campsite. What's more, both cities are on the World Heritage List, and for good reason!
Bruges
Walking through the center of Bruges, you immediately get a historic feeling. You will notice that the inner city of Bruges still has a medieval character, where modern times have merged beautifully with the old buildings, streets and squares. Do you like good food and sweets? Then for chocolate lovers it is a walhalla. In the center of Bruges you will find more than fifty local chocolatiers. So the choice is huge!
And what about Bruges beers? Like the Brugse Zot.
The advantage of a getaway to Bruges is that (almost) all sights are located in the center. That way you have everything you need to see close together.
What should you really see and do in Bruges: Princely Beguinage, Canal Cruise, Historium, Halve Maan, Salvador Dali Museum, Groeninge Museum, Belfry, Basilica of the Holy Blood, Concert Hall Bruges and of course do not forget the cozy squares such as the Grote Markt and 't Zand with real Bruges restaurants and cafes.

Gent
like Bruges, is a historic city with character. So you can take a boat trip in the city center to see the monumental buildings from the water, climb the Belfry, admire Lams God, visit the medieval castle the Gravensteen and much more.
One of Ghent's specialties are the Ghent Neuzekes (Cuberdons). A sweet soft candy made of syrup that gets its name from its cone shape. With a little imagination, you can see a nose in it. Moreover, where in Bruges the Brugse Zot is known, Ghent has the world-famous Gentse Strop beer.
3. ''The Other Side' - Flushing & Middelburg
Standing on the beach and looking at the other side of the water, you see 'the other side': or Vlissingen / Zoutelande. And conversely, if you look to the other side in Vlissingen, you also see 'the other side': the beautiful ZEEUWS-VLAANDEREN. It's just how you look at it.
Flushing
If you look at the map, Vlissingen is not far from the campsite. Not at all as the crow flies! Still, you have to cross the water. A great tip for this is the ferry from Breskens to Vlissingen.
Vlissingen has played an important role in Zeeland's history due to its strategic location. This can be seen in the monuments, yacht and pilot harbor and the Maritime muZeeum, among others. Another great tip in the center: the Reptile Zoo Iguana. Five hundred reptiles, amphibians and insects live here.
Curious what the capital of our province looks like? Then go a little further by train or bus to Middelburg.
Middelburg
No matter which way you enter Middelburg from, you are automatically drawn to the market square with its architectural town hall (city hall) in a late Gothic style. And when you are in this place, you are in the bustling center. You can find many cozy restaurants and cafes and there are two shopping streets where you can spend a nice afternoon. Also in middelburg, you can opt for a tour on the water.
Fancy really being immersed in the Zeeland spheres? Then a visit to the museum of Zeeland should definitely be on your list.
4. 't Zwin - Knokke
5. Art village- groede
Next to Nieuwvliet you will find the historic and cozy Groede. Once proclaimed an artists' village by the monumental buildings and narrow streets with a unique atmosphere. Fun for the kids and what should not be missed during your visit: Groede podium. A play and bunker park with playground equipment, a petting zoo and.... BUNKERS. These are between the playground equipment and can be visited. Very special. Moreover, the park is freely accessible, so feel welcome to discover the history.
