Day 2 · Mon 07/06 18 min

Arriving in Domburg

Beach day to settle in

Nature

Domburg beach

Wide, gently sloping sandy beach backed by dunes, perfect for digging and first paddling attempts in the shallow water. Beach access points and rental facilities are well signposted, and the sea stays knee-deep for a long way out.

Town

Veere

A picturesque former Hanseatic town on the Veerse Meer, with cobbled streets, an old church and a small harbour. There are motorhome parking areas on the edge of town, from where it's a short walk into the centre; the narrow lanes aren't suitable for a large motorhome.

Deltapark Neeltje Jans

On an artificial island right in the middle of the Oosterschelde storm surge barrier, Deltapark explains how the Netherlands protects itself against the sea following the 1953 flood.

Oosterscheldekering viewpoint

Right at the storm surge barrier, you can see the seemingly endless row of pillars stretching across the Oosterschelde. A good spot for a quick photo stop and to grasp the sheer scale of it.

Day 5 · Thu 10/06 1:12 hr

Middelburg and Fort Rammekens

Town, museum and history

Museum and town in the morning, while the kids are still receptive; the fort in the afternoon as a chance to run around.

Don't head for the car parks in Middelburg — the motorhome is too tall.

Town

Middelburg

The lively capital of Zeeland boasts a splendid town hall, canals and the tall Lange Jan church tower. It's best to park the large motorhome on the edge of the town centre or at the P+R, then walk into the historic centre.
