    The hamlet of De Blauwe Sluis is located on the Kruislandsedijk in Steenbergen at the intersection of three waterways: the Steenbergse Vliet, Roosendaalse Vliet and the Kleine Aa. It owes its name to the blue limestone, a new and sustainable building material at the time that was not yet widely used at the time the lock was constructed. When the stone got wet, it turned dark blue. The lock complex dates from 1822; the nearby lock master's house was added in 1835. It is one of the inlets for the inundation area. In the 17th century, the lock was used to flood surrounding areas.

      The Cruijslandse Kreken can be explored by water from the island of De Blauwe Sluis. In 2017, canoe jetties were built there. They provide access to the creek area near Steenbergen fortified town. And: coming from the Steenbergse Vliet, there is even a canoe tow path under the road. De Blauwe Sluis also offers plenty of opportunities for relaxation: relaxing on the fishing jetties and eating on the picnic benches, enjoying the view over the inundation area.
