From Morning Errands to Beach Time—A Seamless Day
When the essentials are close, your day flows naturally:

This convenient rhythm leaves more space for what you came for—sea air, coastal views, and unhurried time together.
Landmarks That Define Westkapelle
Westkapelle’s maritime heritage shapes the landscape around Joossesweg & Westkapelle.
Twin lighthouses guiding the way
- The “Hoge licht” / “Zuiderhoofd” (Westkapelle Hoog) is a distinctive light tower inland—a remnant of a Gothic church later adapted for lighthouse duty.
- On the seaward side stands the “IJzeren torentje” (Westkapelle Laag) on the dike.
Together, these two beacons form a light line guiding shipping through the Oostgat toward the Westerschelde. Even a casual stroll rewards you with views of these working symbols of the coast.
The Westkappelse Zeedijk
Running for five kilometers, the Westkappelse Zeedijk is a sea defense of basalt and dune that once stood as a defining statement of Dutch resolve against the water. Today, it’s also a scenic route for walks with sweeping sea views.
