Brouwershaven.
A quiet harbor town on the shores of the Grevelingen lake.
Boat RentalsHiking
Brouwershaven sits on the Grevelingen, a saltwater lake in Zeeland created when the old estuary was closed off by a dam. Narrow streets lined with brick houses lead down to a harbor filled with sailboats and small craft. Boatyards keep old trades going near cafés serving mussels and other seafood from nearby waters. Nature reserves line parts of the lake, drawing birdwatchers to its shallow waters. Cycling routes connect the town to the dunes of Schouwen-Duiveland and the open water near the Brouwersdam. Brouwershaven keeps a working harbor feel, where sailing and local history sit close to the lake's quiet nature areas.
