Breskens

Discover the seaside resort of Breskens

Breskens is the popular seaside resort of Zeeuws-Vlaanderen and is known for its many hours of sunshine and its wide, 4-kilometre-long sandy beach. It is the perfect destination for a relaxing day by the sea, a long beach walk or a refreshing cycle ride along the coast.

Beach, history and maritime culture

Take a walk past the characteristic Breskens lighthouse, visit the Sint Barbarakerk with its remarkable wood carvings by sculptor Omer Gielliet, or discover the area's maritime history at the Fisheries Museum.

In August, Breskens comes alive during the annual Visserijfeesten, a lively festival that attracts thousands of visitors. During your visit, be sure to sample Zeeland specialities such as fresh oysters, mussels and the famous Westerschelde lobster.
