About Pikgat
Pikgat is a remote Oosterschelde site in Zeeland, reached by a long walk or a boat entry rather than casual beach access. The bottom is mostly sand, stones, silt, and mussel beds, with limited biodiversity but enough life to make slow exploration worthwhile. It is a working-water site with medium current, a boating channel, and basic logistics, so it suits experienced users who can plan around tide and visibility.
