16 Nature reserves
Oostkapelle is surrounded by 16 nature reserves on and around Walcheren.
- De Manteling: here dunes and forest meet, a rare combination in the Netherlands.
- Oranjezon: more than 400 hectares of nature between Oostkapelle and Vrouwenpolder, part of the De Manteling van Walcheren nature reserve.
Noordervroon: a dynamic coastal landscape just behind the sea dyke between Westkapelle and Domburg, popular with birdwatchers. Veerse Meer: a brackish lake between Walcheren and Noord-Beveland, created when the first Delta Works were closed in 1960 and 1961. Sint Laurense Weihoek: the top area for meadow birds on Walcheren, between Grijpskerke and Middelburg; nearby lies the small Heggengebied Arnemuiden.
