Kitesurfing at Grevelingendam

Grevelingendam is a shallow flat-water spot on the Grevelingen lake and one of the few places in Zeeland that works in an easterly wind. Wear shoes for the stones, mussels and oysters, and keep your distance from the trees when launching and landing on the small grass strip. It sits inside a nature reserve, so stay in the kite zone. Open from 15 March to 1 November.

Best wind directions: N, NW, E

Rules and kite zone: Grevelingendam at the NKV (Dutch kitesurf association)
