Why Brouwershaven is more than a pretty harbour
Brouwershaven combines a small historic centre with the wide waterscape of the Grevelingenmeer. The market, Grote Kerk and old harbour make for an easy stroll, while the typical Zeeland feeling begins right at the water.
Our Zeelandmuschel house is in nearby Port Greve. Guests stay in a peaceful, green setting near the marina and Grevelingenmeer, while Brouwersdam remains an easy trip for a day on the North Sea.
What to see around Brouwershaven
History, water and open walking and cycling routes sit close together here.
