Goedereede: Historic Harbour Town on Goeree-Overflakkee
On the western coast of Goeree-Overflakkee, the former municipality of Goedereede encompasses three distinct settlements: Goedereede itself with its small atmospheric medieval centre, Ouddorp with its wide sandy beach, and Stellendam with its working fishing harbour. Together they are home to about 11,597 residents within the gemeente Goeree-Overflakkee.
The Grevelingenmeer to the south, created by the Delta Works, is the largest saltwater lake in western Europe and draws sailors, divers, and kitesurfers. The Kwade Hoek nature reserve on the island's southwestern tip provides dune and marsh habitat for migratory birds. Agriculture, tourism, and fishing sustain the economy. Rotterdam is about 45 kilometres northeast.
