You can frequently admire them near Hooge Plaaten, a sandbank in the Wester Scheldt between Breskens and Hoofdplaat. Seals can often be seen basking in the sun on a sandbank from two hours before to one hour after low tide. Bring your binoculars or camera with zoom lens to have a better look at them. Do you want to see them close up? Take a boat trip from Breskens!

Find fossils and shark’s teeth on the beach
Nieuwvliet-Bad and Cadzand are well known for the fossils and shark’s teeth you can find on the beach - a popular activity in Zeeland among many tourists! The fossils and shark’s teeth can be millions of years old and can even date from the Pleistocene, the period when the last ice age occurred. You are most likely to find fossils or teeth near the radar tower in De Verdronken Zware Polder, only 3 kilometres from the resort. Maybe you will find some!
Tip:
Search in places with a lot of shell grit. Most shark’s teeth are light or dark grey or black. Do you not see any on the surface? Dig a hole and sift the sand.
