Birds and drowned polders - Feasting in the beach tent all year round

Wear warm and waterproof clothing when it is cold and stormy, or pack your swimming gear when it is warm and the sun shines brightly. You will travel more than 18 kilometers on the paths between Cadzand-Bad and Nieuwvliet-Bad. You end the route at the Pine House breakfast restaurant, where you can indulge in the most delicious sweets.

The tour starts not far from the Belgian border on the beach of Cadzand-Bad. Did you know that this is one of the cleanest beaches in the Netherlands? Enjoy the sound of the breaking waves in peace and quiet. A little further on you climb up the dune for a beautiful view.

Today you will also walk through the De Verdronken Zwarte Polder nature reserve, a unique area that you explore on adventurous boardwalks. Don't forget to bring your binoculars, because the region is a popular breeding ground for many bird species.

You will find your way back to Cadzand-Bad along the edge of Nieuwvliet-Bad and through the Zeeland polder landscape. Just before that you will come across the village of Cadzand, where you will pause for a moment at the World Peace Flame.

The route starts and ends at Pine House. For those who are not really a morning person and like to start the day in peace and quiet, Pine House is the place to have breakfast before your walk. With an extensive breakfast with the tastiest sweets from our own bakery, there is no better place to gain energy before the hike starts. Breakfast is available until 12:00, so you can also choose to get up early, go on a long hike straight away, and then recover with a fresh brunch.

You park at Pine House. Are you coming by public transport? Then get off at the Kievitenlaan bus stop.
