Blue Flag beach 2026
What is the Blue Flag?
The Banjaardstrand forms the North Sea side near Kamperland. It is a wide sandy beach that slopes gently, with dunes behind it. The atmosphere at the beach clubs ranges from lively to more relaxed, with attention to service and decor. If you prefer somewhere quieter, you will find plenty of space on the wide beach outside the busy hours.
The offering at the clubs is extensive. You can stop in for breakfast, lunch and dinner, so a day by the sea can be filled from early until late. Several clubs welcome dogs and are set up for families. If you are bringing a group, a corporate outing is possible, and you can also get married on site.
Kamperland itself has the amenities of a village: shops for daily groceries, places to eat and drink, and accommodation. In summer the village draws many staying visitors thanks to the campsites and holiday parks in the area, helped by the proximity of the Veerse Meer on the inland side of the island.
The location makes it easy to combine the coast with other destinations. Vrouwenpolder is 5.7 kilometres away, Burgh-Haamstede 8.4 kilometres and Oostkapelle 10 kilometres. If you come by train, you travel to Middelburg station and continue from there by bus or bike.
The Banjaardstrand is known for its open space and relatively shallow shoreline. At low tide a broad stretch falls dry, which makes the beach well suited to walking and playing. The combination of a North Sea beach on one side and the Veerse Meer on the other gives Kamperland two faces: salt water with surf and a calmer inland water for watersports.
Great for
The Banjaardstrand is wide and slopes gently, with dunes at the back and plenty of room to play. Several beach clubs are set up for children and serve breakfast and lunch as well as dinner. At low tide a broad stretch of the beach falls dry.
Dogs are welcome on the Banjaardstrand and at several beach clubs. On the North Sea beach, lead rules apply during the day from 1 May to 1 October; outside that period your dog may run free. A clean-up obligation applies all year round.
Some of the beach clubs aim for a more upmarket experience with dining by the sea. The wide setting of the Banjaardstrand offers views over the North Sea during the evening hours. Booking ahead is advisable in high season.
All three beach clubs serve lunch, so you can break up a beach walk for a hot or cold meal. The wide beach offers both sheltered and open spots. The average rating comes out at 4.1 out of 5.
A corporate outing is possible at the beach clubs in Kamperland. The space on and around the Banjaardstrand lends itself to activities on the beach and by the water. Combine a half-day with a shared lunch or dinner.
In rain or wind, the covered areas of the beach clubs offer shelter, with a menu from breakfast to dinner. The village of Kamperland itself has shops and places to eat and drink for anyone wanting to avoid the beach. The Veerse Meer on the inland side of the island is a short distance away.
Season & atmosphere
In the summer months Kamperland draws many staying visitors. The campsites and holiday parks on Noord-Beveland and along the Veerse Meer fill up, and on warm days the Banjaardstrand is then busy.
In high season the three beach clubs run at full capacity with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Outside summer the beach grows quieter and opening hours and the menu may be more limited. Check this in advance with the club of your choice.
The early and late season suit walkers and dog owners: from 1 October to 1 May your dog may run free on the North Sea beach. The wide beach and the open space around the island make a walk outside the busy months appealing.
The combination of a North Sea beach and the inland water of the Veerse Meer gives the season two sides. When the wind is strong along the coast, the lake on the other side of the island offers shelter for watersports.
