Cadzand-Bad
An upscale seaside resort on the Zeeland Flanders coast, famous for finding fossilized teeth of ancient sharks on its beach.
Cadzand-Bad lies on the southern bank of the Western Scheldt estuary, close to the Belgian border. Its wide beach backs onto dunes, and in recent years a number of design hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants have opened. Because Eocene sediments are exposed on the seabed, you can often find shark tooth fossils tens of millions of years old on the sand at low tide. You can take a ferry from Vlissingen to Breskens and then transfer to a bus, or drive through the Western Scheldt Tunnel in about 40 minutes.
