Zuid Haffel is one of the oldest polders on the island of Texel.

In 1350, Jan van Henegouwen gave his permission to create a dyke between Tjarkshorn and the Lyorts road.

Nearby is a farm named Zuidhaffel, which lies on de Waterweg, built in the 16th century.

This state monument was intended to be turned into a museum, but this plan was dropped.

The hamlet has no place name signs, and is considered part of Den Burg.
