Kaapduinen - Nature

The Kaapduinen near Dishoek, together with the nearby Westduin near Vlissingen and the high dunes of Zoutelande, form one of the most diverse dune areas in Zeeland. It’s a beautiful mix of nature, sea views and history – behind the dunes lies the picturesque, rolling farmland of Walcheren.

What makes the Kaapduinen so special?

• Unique coastal nature: High dune tops, marram grass fields, green dune valleys and small wooded areas alternate. The landscape changes with every visit.
• Beautiful viewpoints: From the high dunes you can look out over the Westerschelde, the beaches of Dishoek, Vlissingen and Zoutelande, as well as the characteristic Walcheren countryside filled with farms and fields.
• Large sea ships up close: Just like at Zoutelande and Vlissingen, enormous sea vessels also pass close to the coast here. They sometimes seem so near you could almost touch them.
• Peaceful walking paths: The Kaapduinen are perfect for a quiet walk through the dunes, with several benches and scenic lookout spots along the way.
• Traces of the Second World War: In the area you can still find remains of bunkers and other silent witnesses of the Atlantic Wall, telling a fascinating story from the past.

The Kaapduinen offer the perfect combination of beach, nature, views and history. An ideal place for a short walk, a peaceful moment, or a picture-perfect sunset.
