From the beach you get a beautiful panoramic view of the Westerschelde, the village and the city of Flushing. The beach is wonderfully long and wide and always clean where, in addition to sunbathing, swimming and walking, you can see the large ships go by. A striking feature is the black and white lighthouse near the harbor mouth. The lighthouse has been in service for more than 150 years.
