Dive Spot Guide•
St Annaland
St Annaland is a tidal Zeeland shore dive with rich bottom life.
Walk-in shore access from the dike, with tide-dependent timing, a shallow slope, and a drift back toward the entry on the rising tide.
About St Annaland
St Annaland is a shore dive on the edge of the Oosterschelde and Krabbenkreek, entered from the dike beside the harbor after a short walk from the parking area. The site is a shallow tidal channel with a gently sloping sand bottom, shell and stone sections, and patches of rich growth that make it a good drift on the tide. It is a classic Zeeland dive where timing the water matters more than treating it like a casual swim-out, and the best returns come when you plan the entry around the tide and the harbor lane.
