De Kwade Hoek is a nature reserve near the dunes and sandbanks in the mouth of the Haringvliet. The name refers to the dangerous sandbanks where many ships have run aground and perished. In the past, but still. A large part of the dune area is closed off during the breeding season, but from the end of August you can walk around more. These photos were taken next to a small stream behind the row of dunes. The dunes are very low.
