Groningen by the sea
It may not be an azure sea with a beach full of palm trees. But it is a beautiful large beach, with a promenade. The beach is easily accessible via the connecting bridge to the city centre. Near the beach is the Eemshotel, with a terrace above the Dollard. Sanitary facilities have also been thought of. On the nearby natural salt marsh there is room for the animals of the mud flats, which you can of course meet from a distance.
Pilot cutter Eems No.1
The profession of marine pilot was, and is, by no means harmless. Indeed, even in bad weather, pilotage must be carried out as much as possible. This means pilots also have to clamber aboard in the dark, when ships are violently battered by storms. To honour the marine pilots, construction of a replica of the pilot cutter No.1, the Eems, began in 1997. Construction took until 2004 and the ship of no less than 28 metres is now the pride of Delfzijl. From May to September, the Pilot Cutter regularly sails out for rambles across the Dollard or a crossing to Emden. You can also hire the pilot cutter to take a group out on the water.
