Zierikzee has no beaches but nearby between Neelje Jans (de Punt) en the Brouwersdam (Scharendijke) stretches 20 km of sandy beaches and dunes. Park your car near the lighthouse. The tower is 50 m high but is not open to visitors. Walk through the hilly dunes to the beach over a distance of about 600 m and enjoy the scenery.
