What makes the lagoon in Camperduin so special?

The lagoon was created after the redevelopment of the Hondsbossche Zeewering. The construction of dunes and sandbars created a sheltered estuary where the water is calmer than on the open beach. This makes it safer for swimming, supping or playing with children.

In addition, the lagoon is a nature lover's paradise. The shallow waters attract birds, fish and marine life, and the environment changes with the tides and seasons. Here you experience the coast at its purest - a rare combination of nature, tranquility and space.

Children can climb, clamber and play captain with a view of the sea. While they explore the ship, parents enjoy the beach, the lagoon and the expansive view of the Hondsbossche Zeewering.

4. Kiting

Camperduin Lagoon is not only a summer destination. In spring and autumn it is wonderfully quiet, ideal for a walk or a photo session at sunset. In winter, it is a place of silence, where you can get a breath of fresh air and unwind with a view of the waves.

For sports enthusiasts, winter is the time to seek the wind: the lagoon is then a popular spot for kitesurfing. Thanks to its sheltered location and wide beach, it is a wonderful location to safely take to the water. So you can enjoy action and adventure by the sea even on chilly days.

Every time of year has its own charm here - from sun-drenched summer days to tough winter kite sessions.
