Vakantiepark Duinzicht

The Walcheren area has over 150 kilometres of cycle tracks to test out, so active excursions won't be a problem here. The routes are almost always mercifully flat, making ambitious day trips around the peninsula a much more accessible experience than elsewhere. After touring through the countryside at your own pace, head off-shore to try undersea diving at Westkapelle (15 minutes), the site of a number of shipwrecks dating from the Second World War. The area is dotted with other interesting relics from the 1940s, including a number of bunkers on the western outskirts of Koudekerke. Middelburg (15 minutes) has heaps of history too, but this town takes on a more contemporary feel in the warmer months when it plays host to music and cultural festivals. Modern attractions like escape rooms and cinemas can be found just alongside old buildings like the Lange Jan abbey tower and Kasteel Ter Hooge castle. For further city day trips, you could head over the border into Belgium to check out Antwerp's many sights (an hour) or stay here in the Netherlands and explore the attractive cobbled streets of Breda (an hour and 15 minutes).
