This is most definitely the Netherlands. More specific the "Afsluitdijk" (referred to as Zuider Zee Dam).

Are you sure? It looks like the coastline in France... I don't recognize the Netherlands here at all. What coastline are we looking at exactly? I don't see the afsluitdijk, nor recognize the surrounding coastline. Also, I have never heard anyone refer to it as Zuiderzeedam.
