Beach
The 25 km long beach on the Kop van Goeree makes Ouddorp unique as a seaside resort. Ouddorp has even been named the best seaside resort in the Netherlands.
The beach is divided into different sections, with parts where the lifeguard patrols during the high season and areas designated for extreme sports such as land sailing and beach buggy driving. Dogs and horses are also welcome here. The seemingly endless beach always offers enough space for walking, sunbathing, and relaxing without being overcrowded.
The beach has been awarded the Blue Flag, a mark of a clean and safe beach with excellent swimming water. There are toilets, waste bins, rescue equipment, and a first aid post. To protect the environment, educational activities are organized. The beach pavilions have terraces with windshields and comfortable indoor spaces for a snack and drink, and some are even open in winter. Large free parking areas are available year-round. For calmer waters, you can visit the Grevelingenmeer.
The most beautiful thing for children is sand.
It lies abundantly ready,
and runs cleverly
through their hands.Where they keep their nose,
even if they fall on it,
it is so soft.Children's fingers find,
as they dig and wind,
nothing but pure bliss.
"Sand" by the poet Joachim Ringelnatz
