DONNY'S BEACH 112
Nederland, Zeeland
Donny's Beach lies in one of the reservoirs of the Krammersluizen complex. Spots to test your equipment or work on your skills have their value. Donny's Beach, with its controlled conditions, is such a spot. You don't have to cross a dike, visibility is reasonably good, the bottom slopes very gradually and you can park close to the entry point. Forgotten something? With a few steps you're back at your car. Donny's Beach is not lifeless. The site is home to jellyfish, flatfish, crabs, lobsters, pipefish and gobies. Donny's Beach gets its name from the friendly food truck owner at this location. The official name is Laagbekken Badstrand but, Donny's Beach sounds better.
Particulars
Donny's Beach is located between Schouwen-Duiveland and Sint-Philipsland. You can park at the windmill near the entry point. Then walk to the beach. The bottom slopes gently to a depth of no more than 6 meters.
Warnings
Donny's Beach is part of the Kammers Sluizen complex. This complex is all the way on the north side, more than 700 meters from the entry point, and therefore poses no danger. There is a ball line shielding this area. Never dive beyond the ball line. There may be unexpected currents there that are different from what you are used to in the Eastern Scheldt. Between 1 May and 30 September, the water is sometimes sampled by boat. Don't dive during this proces.
