Dirksland (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈdɪr(ə)kslɑnt] ⓘ) is a village and former municipality on Goeree-Overflakkee Island in the western Netherlands, in the province of South Holland.
On 1 January 2013, Dirksland merged with Goedereede, Middelharnis, and Oostflakkee into the new municipality of Goeree-Overflakkee.
Dirksland is the largest of the three communities within the former municipality and also has the only hospital on Goeree-Overflakkee island.
[citation needed] Dirksland can be recognized from a distance by the tallest water tower in the country.
The towns are agriculturally focused and have several campgrounds for people who prefer a bit of rest over the busy Ouddorp area but still want to be close to shore.
