Havenhoofd
About Havenhoofd
Havenhoofd is a dive spot by a pier near the harbour entrance, where strong water movement creates active hunting grounds and attracts fish. It can involve a long walk to reach. The area includes a section that drops very deep, but this specific zone is prohibited due to post-war ammunition dumping. Divers are advised to avoid the harbour waterway.
