A few tips
Jacobaburcht ruins
The remains of the Burcht van Oostvoorne, also known as Jacobaburcht, are located on a raised hill (motte) in the center of Oostvoorne. The castle was founded at the end of the 12th century by the powerful Van Voorne family. Although little remains of the castle, what remains is still impressive. Address: Hoflaan 6, Oostvoorne. Open: the ruin is freely accessible, collect the key from the gate at the tourist office.

Eastern Lake
The Oostvoornse Meer is very popular with divers from the Netherlands, Belgium and even beyond. Especially because of the depth of more than 40 meters and the almost always very good visibility thanks to the hard sandy bottom. There are shipwrecks on the bottom, such as the Archimeded from 1839 and the remains of a wooden wreck from the 16th century. The lake is also very popular with trout anglers.

Swallow van Voorne
The construction of the Brielse Gatdam created a beautiful and unique bird rest area with mud flats (which flood at high tide) and salt marshes (which are only under water at very high tide). The many birds in this area flock to the nutrient-rich soil where many small animals live.
