About

Nice place, have seen a dolphin and a seal in the surf though very rare. A lot of birds, storks in summer, herons etc... Also a meeting place for gays and nudists in the tourist season so be aware of overfriendly weirdoes. Sunsets in September can be similar to Indonesian sunsets but without the tropical heat. Fossils of shark can be found, Mako, and Megalodon (great white) are common.

Atmosphere:
Beautiful spot with sometimes great waves, try the left at the pier on the Belgian side, the lefts and rights in the middle or the right at the Dutch side. The Dutch right tends to be sectionny and rarely breaks all the way down the line but is a bit more powerful than the Belgian left that does peel off perfectly but as said with less power. Spot receives more swell than spots to the left of it due to favourable bathymetry. In and out flow of the estuary can generate rips and undertow. Laid back atmosphere, peaceful.

Additional Info:
Be aware of the border-marking-poles that get flooded at high tide, they are in the middle of the outflow of the river created by 't Zwin. Be respectful of the nature reserve.
