New harbour
In the context of the Delta Works, it was decided to fill in the old inner harbor and build a new harbor outside the village. Work started on this in 1959. Initially, the new port was built for merchant ships, but soon after construction, the port also proved to be very attractive as a marina. The establishment of a water sports association in 1963 further promoted this. Four years after the opening of the marina in 1966 there were already too few moorings. In the course of time several expansions followed, up to the current 320 moorings.
