Toegang

The saltpans are situated in the saltmarshes. Once you've parked you can easily enter the area walking or cycling and explore every saltpan that is accessible (some are blocked or there is no way to access without getting kneedeep in the mud). In the northern ones you will find ducks such as the Bergeend, Wilde Eend and Krakeend, whereas closer to the lagoon (sea side) you'll find more waders such as the Bonte Strandloper, Drieteenstrandloper, Krombekstrandloper, Strandplevier, Bontbekplevier, Regenwulp and Steltkluut. A bit further way from the access, to the east, it is very common to find groups of Flamingo that allow bystanders to get quite close.
