Marina Port Zélande & Residence Kabbelaarsbank: your perfect base to explore Ouddorp and the area

Marina Port Zélande

If you love “marina vibes,” Marina Port Zélande is a great choice: a lively yacht harbour with handy facilities nearby such as restaurants/yacht club, a shop, play areas, wellness, and even the subtropical swimming paradise Aqua Mundo close by. Plus, you’ll find beaches, beach bars, a water jump, and plenty of water sports options within easy reach.

Residence Kabbelaarsbank

If you’re after something more modern and calm, Residence Kabbelaarsbank offers contemporary apartments made for switching off, including spacious apartments and penthouses with views. There are four outdoor parking spaces in front of the residence with EV charging points, and there’s also underground parking with private storage units—perfect for bikes or water sports gear. Best of all: you’re very close to Brouwersdam and the Grevelingenmeer, right in the heart of the action.

1) Center Parcs Port Zélande (the perfect family day out—even if you’re not staying there)

3) Where to eat & drink nearby (beach pavilions + easy options)

You have loads of good options nearby—from “easy lunch without moving the car” to proper sunset dinners.

Our favourite for golden hour: Beach Club Punt West

If you want a relaxed vibe by the water (Grevelingenmeer), this is a top pick—great for a light lunch, sunset drinks, or a laid-back dinner.

Beware Beach + Strandpaviljoen Brouw
Beware Beach is famous for beach & water activities—and Strandpaviljoen Brouw is the matching pavilion where you can combine activities with food/drinks (and it’s a solid option even if you’re not doing the sports).
