Getijdenpoel

Curious about what lives beneath the surface of the Oosterschelde? Then a visit to the tidal pool near Bruinisse is a must. These special pools lie at the foot of the dike and offer a unique opportunity to explore sea life up close – without getting wet.

At high tide, the pools are submerged, but at low tide they remain filled with shallow water that reveals the Oosterschelde’s vibrant life. Elegant snakelocks anemones gently wave their tentacles, small fish dart away at sudden movements, and crabs of all shapes and sizes scurry between the stones. The longer you look, the more you’ll see.

What makes this place so special is the chance to observe the rich and diverse ecosystem of the Oosterschelde at your own pace. It’s the perfect outing for families, nature lovers, or anyone eager to learn more about marine life. Bring a small net and a white tub to make your own discoveries!

The tidal pools are freely accessible and located at the end of the Boomdijk in Bruinisse, near a small beach. Be amazed by the rhythm of the tides and discover how close nature really is.
