Walking with your dog
Whether in the forest, on the beach, through the polder or in the dunes, there’s nothing better than a walk through nature with your dog. Especially if they’re free to roam to their heart’s content. Zeeland has countless nature reserves where you can walk your dog as well as several off-leash zones. Zeeland’s beaches offer plenty of space to run around and take a dip in the sea. However, be sure to check if and when your dog needs to be on the leash. Find out more on Taking your dog to the beach in Zeeland.
In Westerschouwen Forest, dogs are free to run about, play and explore the natural surroundings. Dogs can be off the leash in the zone behind the campsites between the edge of the forest along Adriaan van der Weijdeweg in Westenschouwen, but must be on the leash in other areas of the forest. Dogs may also be off the leash in the Krekengebied in Ouwerkerk north of Baalpapenweg.
Whether you’re taking a break along the way or finishing your day in Zeeland with a scrumptious bite to eat, you want your four-legged friend to be just as welcome as you at the table. Thankfully, many establishments in Zeeland are dog-friendly, providing outdoor seating and occasionally a spot indoors. Before you settle down, be sure to check whether the café or restaurant accepts dogs.
