In many places in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, you can drive right to the beach. Your dog isn’t even out of the car yet, and his nose is already in the sand. The province isn’t an island like the rest of Zeeland, but mainland with wide polders and an endless coastline. Today we’re getting the best of both worlds: the salty sea air at the beach and the tranquility of the polder. Somewhere in between, there’s a cozy outdoor café where no one bats an eye at a wet dog’s snout under the table.
