ZUIDBOUT 29
Nederland, Zeeland
Zuidbout is a pier which runs far into the Oosterschelde. It's a popular dive site with a variety of marine life, such as the rare wakameweed and occasionally, the beautiful northern red anemone. Equally interesting at Zuidbout are the remains of the old dikes, the beautifully vegetated basalt blocks and an unrecognizable, but beautifully overgrown wreck.
Particulars
Enter the water on the eastside of the pier. After about 10 meters, the bottom quickly slopes down. Close to the wreck big lobsters, sea squirts and sponges can be seen.
Warnings
Zuidbout is an official kitesurfing location from 1 October to 30 April. First check if there are no kitesurfers active. Be aware of fishing lines. Slippery entry at low tide. Visibility and currents may change at the end of the pier.
