Breskens

Breskens is a popular seaside town on the Zeeland coast, known for enjoying a high number of sunshine hours each year. Its main attraction is undoubtedly the 4-kilometre-long sandy beach, perfect for relaxing walks, fresh sea air and long days by the water.

Take a stroll past the iconic octagonal lighthouse, admire the remarkable wood carvings by emeritus priest and sculptor Omer Gielliet in Saint Barbara’s Church, or visit the Fisheries Museum to discover more about the rich maritime history of Breskens.

Every August, the harbour town comes alive during the annual Fishing Festivals, a lively three-day event attracting thousands of visitors with music, activities and plenty of fresh seafood.

Food lovers will also feel right at home here. Taste local Zeeland delicacies such as fresh oysters, mussels and the famous Westerschelde lobster in one of the cosy restaurants by the harbour or coastline.

Breskens perfectly combines beach, nature, culture and gastronomy into a versatile destination for all ages.
