At the end of the Beukendreef one could, until the seventies, reach the so-called Duintjes (The little dunes), a natural reserve washed by the Oosterschelde, an arm of the North Sea.
Many people from Bergen op Zoom and its vicinity mastered here the noble art of swimming. After the construction of the Oesterdam (Oyster Dam), one of the compartmentilizations of the Delta Works, the tidal movements were no longer possible.
The 'Kurhaus' itself really was nothing more than a shed where nevertheless all kinds of activities took place.
