# Spotting porpoises at Serooskerke

Porpoises swim in the Oosterschelde, the most common cetacean in our coastal waters. At Serooskerke you look out over the water where they swim. Usually you will see a dark back with a small triangular fin roll briefly above the surface and vanish again: a porpoise does not jump like a dolphin. On a calm day with little wind and few waves your chances are best. Bring binoculars and be patient.

## Practical

- Look in calm weather: that is when you see the back and the little fin best.
- Binoculars help, and let your eyes sweep wide over the water.
- Location: near Serooskerke (Schouwen), on the Oosterschelde.
