Tholen used to be a series of separate islands with small and large channels in between. The Pluimpot was one of the largest gullies. In 1957, the Pluimpot was completely closed off into a dammed estuary. It is now a high-tide refuge and an important breeding area for coastal birds such as oystercatchers, common terns and avocets. The salt plants and orchids also grow on the dikes and on the banks. This nature reserve can be easily visited via the paths on the dikes.
