On the western tip of Schouwen-Duiveland, on the beach of Burgh-Haamstede, the dog may run loose at certain times.

Running loose: From 18:00 to 10:00

On a lead: Between Pentecost and 1 September dogs must be on a lead from 10:00 to 18:00.

In the summer months, your dog is also welcome on the beach, but on a leash. You can park on the Strandweg at one of the beach entrances. From the car park just past house number 49, you can walk along the Vuurtorenpad to the beach in a few minutes. Dogs must be kept on a leash in the dunes.

Dog information Schelphoek Serooskerke

Alongside the Oosterschelde estuary you can take a lovely walk across the old sea dyke from the caisson at the Schelphoek (near Serooskerke on Schouwen-Duiveland). Your dog can run free because the dike is fenced off with sheep wire. You can also cross the dike at the caisson and walk along the creek where there is also a stray area. Take the Schelphoek exit from the N59 between Zierikzee and Burgh-Haamstede. In the eastern part of the Schelphoekbos near Serooskerke (Schouwen-Duiveland) dogs may also run free.
