Yerseke, a small fishing village with a history dating back to the year 966, is the main tourist attraction in the municipality of Reimerswaal. Its rich and tumultuous history, its extraordinary aquaculture and its beaches make it a very interesting destination.
A paradise for oysters and mussels
The village of Yerseke, located in the municipality of Zeeland, owes part of its fame to the quality of its oyster farming and its gastronomy. During the second half of July and until the beginning of August, you can discover the whole mussel processing industry. You can also take the opportunity to visit the famous oyster beds built towards the end of the 19th century.
The mussels and oysters produced by Yerseke are still the tastiest in the world. It is therefore difficult to stop in the town without being tempted by a little culinary journey. The small family restaurants will tempt you with mussels and oysters prepared in a thousand different ways. Connoisseurs, meanwhile, are invited to sample Philippine's mussels. For although the mussels come from Yerseke, it is in the neighboring town of Philippine that they are best cooked.
After having your taste buds travel, take the time to travel back in time. A short stroll through the heart of the city will allow you to discover its precious historical heritage, such as the church of St. Odolphus, which has embellished the city center since 1532.
How can you have fun in Yerseke?
The town also has magnificent beaches, ideal for lazing around in the glorious sunshine. The port of Yerseke is the place to be for vacationers looking for a pleasant escape to the sea. By opting for yacht charter in Yerseke, you can easily enjoy the pleasures of the sea.
But enjoying your vacation in Yerseke also means attending the most important events in the region, such as the Mosseldag festival. This event, scheduled for every third Saturday in August, marks the beginning of the mussel harvest. This will be a unique opportunity to visit the historical sites associated with this flagship product of the city during an organized cruise.
