Ouddorp has 77 places, of which 47 publish opening hours, 61 per cent. Of those, 72 per cent open on a Sunday, but only 15 per cent work past eleven, by far the lowest night share among these fourteen places. Some 31 per cent have no online presence.
That night figure has a precise explanation. The general by-law closes hospitality at two and terraces at one, but a separate decision shuts the so-called evening businesses, meaning snack bars, coffee shops and ice cream parlours, at midnight already. That is exactly the category a village offer largely consists of.
Sunday works the other way round. The municipality of Goeree-Overflakkee has no trading Sundays; only shops on recreation grounds and in the coastal zone may open, and that explains why eating goes on here while the village itself is closed.
One thing first, because it is often got wrong: Ouddorp lies in South Holland and not in Zeeland, so the Zeeland specialities do not belong to it. The municipality has existed since 2013; Ouddorp was independent until 1966.
The choir of the church dates from 1348, the harbour from 1860, and the lighthouse from just after the war, when the Germans had blown up its predecessor. Only then did the village become a resort, on the strength of eighteen kilometres of beach, the longest in the Netherlands. Of the 6,391 residents, 27 per cent are over sixty-five.
