About Colijnsplaat
Colijnsplaat is a village of around 1,600 people on Noord-Beveland, at the foot of the Zeelandbrug over the Oosterschelde. Fishing made it the most important place on the peninsula, and the harbour still has a fish auction. Its centre is a protected village view with a Dutch Reformed church, a former court house and two windmills. The homes sit together in one spot rather than spread around, and most have a sauna but not a pool. Evenings are quiet, and cycling or walking is enough to get around the village. Out of season, expect a fishing village going about its business.

Is Colijnsplaat a fishing village?
Yes, fishing made it the most important place on Noord-Beveland, and the harbour hosts boats from several ports. Live Oosterschelde lobsters are sold at the local auction in spring, and shrimp are auctioned on other days.
When is the fish auction in Colijnsplaat?
On Thursdays, when the boats return to the harbour, at the auction on Visserijweg. Shrimp are auctioned on other days. Check times locally, because the schedule follows the boats.
Does Colijnsplaat have any events?
Yes. The fishing days, Colijnsplaatse dagen, take place around the harbour on the second weekend of August, with music and fairground rides. The Peerock festival is held on the last Friday of July.
Is Colijnsplaat easy to reach without a car?
Partly. Bus 132 links Goes station with Colijnsplaat, and bus 33 is an on-demand service connecting Kats, Colijnsplaat and Kortgene. Services thin out on evenings and weekends, so a car gives much more freedom.
