Our Surroundings
Whether you’re just stopping for a night on your way inland; planning to visit the beautiful waterways and areas nearby, or heading out to sea, Marina Numansdorp is an ideal stop on your route.
We would even go as far as saying that our marina is an idyllic location for your boat, as not only can you enjoy a relaxing time in the harbour, and have great access to inland water ways and areas to explore, the surrounding area has much to offer and is a spot of known beauty with many attractions.
Nature and Countryside
Adjacent to the marina is a small play area with picnic tables and a covered BBQ overlooking the water, as well as a woodland you can enjoy; ideal for stretching your legs after sailing, or helping your dog or children let out any pent up energy!
If you walk along the dike next to the water, toward the Haringvlietbrug (bridge) you will find two small, quiet sandy beaches just a few minutes away, and if you time it right, the sun sets are quite spectacular.
Just 10 minutes by bike (bikes are available for rent from the harbour office), you can go a little in land and get to the former Ambachtsheerlijckheid (the natural reserve) which was created as a sanctuary for water birds including the spoonbill duck – so don’t forget your binoculars.
Numansdorp
Numansdorp has all the amenities one would expect from a large village; an Albert Heijn and Plus supermarkets, as well as stores like Hema and Powder Keg.
There’s also bicycle shops, small boutiques and several specialty shops such as a famous local cheese shop, greengrocers, butchers and a pet shop. And if you fancy a workout there’s a few gyms and you’ll also find a sauna and solarium nearby.
You can explore local restaurants, hotels and bars, and just in case you need them, Numansdorp also has a doctors practice, dentists and pharmacies etc.
There’s also regular public transport not far from the marina and in Numansdorp which can take you to Rotterdam Central Train Station in just 40 minutes (time tables available in the harbour office or easily googled), and there are good bus connections to other surrounding towns and cities if if you fancy a day trip or need to get somewhere travel-wise.
Cromstrijen Golfclub
Directly across from the marina (out of our port entrance and just a short walk away) is Cromstrijen Golfclub – with a 9 and an 18 hole golf course plus a driving range, this Golf Course is a truly well kept secret of the area!
On their website you will find out all about their course availability and membership etc, as they often provide lessons as well as holding local and club competitions (see their website for all their services and recent news: www.golfclubcromstrijen.nl).
Additionally, the golfclub has a restaurant called Hole 19 where they cater to club users and their guests, serving tasty lunches and main courses/specials, and they do keep their menus online also, so if you’d like to reserve a spot of get more information, you can find that here: www.hole19.nl.
A Famous Fishing Location
Although fishing is not permitted in the harbour due to potential risks to private property and to keep the area accessible for boat owners and guests, the water we are located on is home to some of the best sports fishing in Holland, and there are even competitions each year due the quality of the area.
West of our harbour is where the rivers Maas and Waal meet on their way to the North Sea (at the Biesbosch National Park there is lots to see and do also!); Hollands Diep is therefore a mix of river and tidal waters that is populated by predatory fish that feast on large shoals of baitfish. Pike, Zander, and Perch are the main target species for sport fishermen, but Asp and Catfish are plentiful too.
Should you be interested in fishing in Hollands Diep or the surrounding areas, you do need a Vispas (fishing license) and of course should follow the laws and permits that you can find here: www.rijkwaterstaat.nl, but also a quick internet search will give you a lot more information on the area and activities available, plus local companies and guides that can help you organize a successful trip.
All in all, there’s lots to do around us, and the area is is full of nature, history and open areas to relax and enjoy yourself in.
So whether you come for the relaxing atmosphere in our harbour or for a short stay to explore and spend time on your hobby or passion, Marina Numansdorp and the South of Holland is a great place to be.
