Plan your visit ↗

What washes up?

A beach find quickly raises questions about where it came from and where it was going. See what explanation Flora gives for an object and what is known about it. The value of the visit lies not only in strange or large objects, but also in their background.

Stories behind the material

Shipwreck stories place finds in a wider context. As well as looking around, take time for those explanations. With children, a discovery trail can help them search with a purpose, without every room needing to be covered in equal detail.

An address near De Koog

Use the official visitor address on Californiëweg. Some tourist listings give a different address in the area. The museum café and the playground can offer a break; ask on site which parts are open during your visit.

Before you go
