The Galderse Meren is an area of recreational lakes south of Breda, featuring a sandy beach and opportunities for swimming, diving, and surfing.
The area is located next to the Mastbos and Galderse Heide and is named after the nearby village of Galder. It was created through sand excavations for the construction of the A16 motorway.

The area is very popular. Therefore, during the recreation season (1 April to 30 September), rules apply for visitors to the Galderse Meren.
