This charming village is situated on the westernmost tip of Walcheren, a former island now connected to the mainland. Known for its rich history and picturesque landscapes, Westkapelle offers visitors a glimpse into traditional Dutch coastal life.

The town has a long-standing relationship with the sea, evident in its maritime heritage and the iconic lighthouse that stands as a sentinel on the coastline. Westkapelle's history is deeply intertwined with the constant battle against the water, as exemplified by its robust sea defenses and the story of the intentional flooding during World War II to drive out occupying forces.

Cultural heritage is an important aspect of Westkapelle. The town preserves its folklore and traditions, which are often celebrated through local festivals and events. The area's unique culture is influenced by its isolated geographic position and the strong connection to the sea that has shaped the community over centuries.
