Arendshoofd is a shallow Grevelingenmeer shore site with overgrown oyster banks, small-life patches, and easy snorkelling from the beach. It is a useful fallback when the busier Zeeland sites are crowded, but the outer edge opens into a marked shipping channel, so the dive must stay very shallow and carefully managed in practice.
