Scharendijke is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is a part of the municipality of Schouwen-Duiveland, and lies about 24 km west of Hellevoetsluis.
The village was first mentioned in 1487 as Schaerdendijke, and is a combination of dike and trench.[3] Scharendijke is a dike village. It was originally a little hamlet. Between 1901 and 1902, a harbour was built and it developed into a little village around the harbour.[4][5]
Scharendijke was home to 204 people in 1840.[5] Part of the village was rebuilt after the North Sea flood of 1953. From the 1970s onwards, holiday homes were built around the village.[4]
Scharendijke used to be part of the municipality of Elkerzee. In 1960, the municipality of Middenschouwen was created and Scharendijk became its capital. In 1997, it was merged into Schouwen-Duiveland.[5]
