Westkapelle
Zeeland
Westkapelle is one of the most beautiful and the Most Incredible Secret Spots in The Netherlands.
Located on what was then an island, the island of Walcheren, it is now connected to the rest of the Netherlands by various bridges.
Located in the South West of the Netherlands, this island has experienced floods, bombings, and paid a high price for the war as more than 130 of its inhabitants perished and many had to evacuate Westkapelle.
This community apart from the rest of the Netherlands has often been closed on itself. In fact, many Westkapelle residents bear the same family name and almost all bear the same firstname.
Today more open to the rest of the world thanks to tourism, Westkapelle is a perfect destination for nature lovers and one of the 13 Gorgeous Hidden Gems in The Netherlands.
