Discover the surroundings of Ouddorp
Ouddorp is no ordinary seaside town. It is a place where the sky seems bigger, the beach is wider than you have ever seen, and the hustle and bustle of everyday life simply does not exist. Although Ouddorp officially belongs to South Holland, it breathes the atmosphere of Zeeland—and that is no coincidence. Neighboring Renesse, one of Zeeland's most famous seaside towns, is just a fifteen-minute drive away. From the holiday lodges Duynhof 4 and Duynhof 7, you can reach the sea by bike in just five minutes. And that is when the adventure really begins.

The Beach
The North Sea beach of Ouddorp is one of the widest and most beautiful beaches in the Netherlands. Over fifteen kilometers long, with no boardwalks or high-rise buildings—just sand, sea, and wind. In the spring and autumn, you will have the wide beach almost all to yourself.
Local hotspot: Beach club Paal 10 is the perfect place for an extensive lunch, a drink at sunset, or just to get some fresh air with a view of the sea.
Watersports on the Brouwersdam
A five-minute bike ride from the Duynhof lodges lies the Brouwersdam, one of the best and most popular watersports locations in Europe. Whether you are a seasoned surfer or heading out on the water for the first time, the Brouwersdam is for everyone.
Action on the beach: At Beachclub Natural High, you can fly over the wide beach with a power kite or blokart under the guidance of professional instructors.
On the water: Kitesurfers, windsurfers, and SUP boarders will find optimal conditions here, both on the challenging sea side and on the calm Grevelingen lake.
Cycling through the dunes
Ouddorp is the perfect base for beautiful bike rides through one of the largest contiguous dune landscapes in South Holland.
Cycle more than ten kilometers along the car-free bike path along the coast, with a fresh sea breeze in your hair and a view of the wide beaches. A bike ride along the Grevelingen lake is also an absolute must. Here, you can enjoy views of unique nesting islands and special waterbird sanctuaries.
