Cadzand

Cadzand-Bad: a health-giving seaside resort

Cadzand has two centres: Cadzand-Bad and Cadzand-Dorp. Cadzand-Bad is on Zeeland’s coast and Cadzand-Dorp is an inland settlement situated in the polders of Zeeland-Flanders. Like Domburg, Cadzand-Bad has been given official accreditation as a ‘seaside health spa resort’. The accredication is awarded to resorts able to demonstrate the healing effects of their seawater, climate and natural resources.

A famous landmark in Cadzand is the Nooitgedacht corn mill. The windmill is open to visitors and local products are sold here, some which have been ground in the mill. In the summer, there is a street market here too, where you can enjoy some fine local fare and a great atmosphere too.
