A Refreshing Break - Water fun

Summer and water go hand in hand. The Maasplassen are the perfect place to enjoy the season. Not just for swimming or paddleboarding, but also for the laid-back atmosphere along the shoreline. There’s no pressure to do anything – but plenty of options if you want to. Whether you're heading out on the water or simply relaxing on a quiet beach, the area is full of surprising variety. In and around the water you’ll find spots that feel like a holiday getaway, even if you’ve only got a few hours. Think sheltered coves, cozy beach cafés, boat tours offering new views of the region, or dinner overlooking the shimmering water.

Together or on your own – always enjoyable

If you’re going out together, there’s plenty to do. Rent a boat, paddle around, or just enjoy a good conversation at a waterside terrace – it’s all within easy reach. That’s what makes it so pleasant: no need for big plans, just go. Water fun at the Maasplassen is not only refreshing, but something to share. Whether you’re with a partner, family or friends, the water brings both relaxation and memorable moments. And if you’re looking for some peace and quiet, there’s always space to be on your own.
