The Krabbeplas (also called Surfplas) is a wonderful water recreation area along the A20 next to Westwijk Vlaardingen. From the Broekpolder you can reach the Krabbeplas by car and bike/foot via the A20 motorway. Only cyclists and walkers can continue to the Zuidbuurt. You can swim, surf, play and sunbathe there. You can also fish and skate around the lake. And for a nice bite to eat and a drink there is the cozy terrace of Jofel aan de Plas.

This object is located along the Broekpolderpad, a cycle path that circles the Broekpolder of Vlaardingen. The construction is intended as a grandstand. From this location, one can look through a number of openings in the landscape (such as in the foreground) at various aspects of Midden-Delfland. The views from this hill in the Broekpolder go towards the Aalkeetbuitenpolder and the various landscapes therein, such as the peat meadow landscape, the bird pond, the A20 motorway and the municipality of Vlaardingen.
