As far as we know it is permitted to search the beach of Zoutelande with a metal detector.
General information
Generally it is allowed to search the Dutch beaches using a metal detector at amateur level. Metal detection is a search method for finding metal objects in the ground. Beach searchers use a metal detector to find lost items (jewelry and coins) of bathers.
Of course, Dutch laws and regulations also apply on the beach. This means that you, also when searching on beach, need to take the following into account: Law on Archaeological Heritage, the Monuments law, the weapons and ammunition law, the local General Local Regulation (APV), Lost and Found items according to the civil law etc. Aside from that you should always leave behind your search location the way you found it. In other words, neatly close any dug holes.
A local municipality may decide to prohibit the use of a metal detector (detection ban) via the General Local Regulation. Therefore always check the General Local Regulation and/or contact the municipality where you wish to search. Zoutelande is subject to the municipality of Veere. Here you will find contact information about this municipality: http://www.veere.nl/
Dunes
Note: Searching in the Dutch dunes is generally strictly prohibited. This is due to the protection of nature.

Sinds vrijdag 15 juli 2022 staat er een zonnebrandpaal op het strand van Zoutelande. De zonnebrandpaal staan bij de strandpost op het zuidstrand van Zoutelande. Nabij duinovergang 't Pauwtje.
De paal voorziet inwoners en toeristen deze zomer (2022) van gratis zonnebrand.
Het doel is bewustzijn creëren over het belang van smeren. Want de gemiddelde Nederlander kan zich beter beschermen tegen de gevaren van de zon.
