There is no village called Schouwen-Duiveland itself — the municipality takes it name from the island, which itself got its name when the former islands Schouwen and Duiveland (and Dreischor) were poldered together.

Brouwershaven

Brouwershaven is a small city on the Grevelingen, on the north coast of the island. It received city rights in 1477.

Renesse is a popular tourist resort with free bus services in the area (in summer only).
