About this spot
At the eastern end of the Belgian coast near the Dutch border, Knokke-Heist offers broad beaches and access to the Zwin tidal inlet area. The wide tidal flats near the Zwin nature reserve can provide flat water in certain conditions. SW winds and North Sea exposure make it a viable kite spot.
