Oostvaardersdiep is a small settlement of about 15 houses situated in the northwest of Almere, tucked between the Wilgenbos, the Noorderplassen, and the Markermeer.

It is considered the oldest inhabited spot in southern Flevoland and also hosts a visitor center run by Flevolandschap. The area is a notable access point for birdwatching along the Markermeer.

The nearby Dashorstdijk extends out between the Oostvaardersdiep and the Markermeer, making it a prime spot for gulls year-round, which gather here to rest and forage. Visitors also have a chance of spotting Common Goldeneye, Goosander, and Smew.

Parking is available, and the surrounding terrain is flat and easily explored on foot.
