Visit Hellevoetsluis

Hellevoetsluis has a rich history and used to be a marine harbour. Hellevoetsluis has always been connected with the water. It was the only reinforced harbour in Holland in 1604 and in 1628 it was the country's only official naval base. In the 19th century, Hellevoetsluis was part of the coastal defence, of which you can still see the remains.

These days, Hellevoetsluis is a modern, lively town. It is situated on the Haringvliet, close to the sea, the beach and the beautiful dunes. Here, on the extreme southern edge of the Rijnmond and Europoort areas, close to the open Zeeland landscape, you can enjoy the clean air and countless recreational facilities. For water sports lovers especially, the town of Hellevoetsluis is very popular as it is one of the largest water sports centres in Holland.
