Popular things to do and visit in Nieuwvliet
Start your day with a walk along the beach at Nieuwvliet-Bad where the sand stretches wide and the sea air is sharp and clean. Locals often head out at dawn to watch fishing boats leave the harbor in nearby Breskens, a small scene that makes for a nice anecdotal snapshot of everyday life on the coast. Bring binoculars for birdwatching and pack a windbreaker because the wind can pick up unexpectedly.
Cycling is a practical way to get around. There are marked routes that take you through dune landscapes, past salt marshes and into neighbouring villages. Many visitors combine a beach day with a short trip to the Zwin nature park across the border in Belgium or a visit to the historic town of Sluis for shopping and cafes.
Other popular things to do or visit include organized seal excursions, kitesurfing lessons for all levels and sampling Zeeland seafood at local beach pavilions. If you want low-key evenings, try strolling the promenade and catching a sunset from the dunes; it is simple, effective and entirely worth it.
