Piet Hein Beach Pavilion
We’ll start this list with the Piet Hein beach pavilion near Westduin in Vlissingen. It’s a cozy pavilion where the interior features a mix of cheerful cushions, marble tables, rattan chairs, and a bar with green tiles. The menu is just as varied and surprising: a seasonal menu full of dishes and drinks that perfectly match the season. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or just a drink with a view of the sea.
Kaapduin
One beach bar down the road, you’ll find Kaapduin in Dishoek. The dunes here are high, but the short climb rewards you with a beautiful beach and a lovely beach pavilion. The atmosphere is reminiscent of Bali, with rattan chairs, light colors, and a laid-back beach vibe. And as you’d expect from a Zeeland beach pavilion, the menu is full of delicious seafood dishes. For a refreshing drink, the lemonades are a must-try. Cheers!
The Botanist by the Sea
The next beach pavilion is a charming spot with a bohemian interior and plenty of green accents. De Botanist aan Zee is located on Koudekerke Beach, between Klein Valkenisse and Dishoek, making it the perfect spot to combine with a walk through the dunes or along the beach. The menu features surprising dishes, such as Chicken Katsu and passion fruit cheesecake. In the evening, you can enjoy delicious shared-dining dishes here. And best of all? De Botanist aan Zee is open 365 days a year!
BomBaai Beach Bar
Cheerful—that’s the word that immediately comes to mind when you think of Bombaai Strandbar in Westkapelle. The menu is full of global flavors in the form of small dishes and bites, made with delicious local ingredients. The menu changes with the seasons, so there’s always something new to discover. There’s also a wide selection of drinks: from cocktails and homemade lemonades to Zeeland craft beers.
Beach Bar East
Next on the list: Strandbar Oost. This beach pavilion has been open since March 2025 and welcomes you with a warm interior featuring lots of wood tones, a bar filled with seashells, and unique wooden art pieces. You can stop by here for lunch, dinner, or drinks. The menu features both meat and fish dishes, and the appetizers are definitely a must-try.
Seaside Café
We’ll wrap up this list with the Zeecafé in Oostkapelle. This cozy beach bar has a laid-back vibe, where you can enjoy a drink and a bite to eat with your feet in the sand. Just place your order at the bar, then grab a crate and a chair and find your own spot on the beach. Our top pick? The chorizo croquettes. They’re definitely worth ordering.
