The Afsluitdijk is in itself special to drive over. What is more fun to take a break at the monument halfway?
Nice, (relatively) quiet environment, where you can walk from one side of the dike to the other. There is a lookout point, a shop and a restaurant. But you also have beautiful views of the water from other places and there is nice information in the available parking spaces.
Of course also accessible by bicycle or bus.

Beautiful water birds such as the grebe are often present in the water.
