About this spot
Belgium's largest coastal city has designated kite zones on its broad beach, making it a well-organised spot for kiteboarders. North Sea swells and SW winds create a lively environment for freestyle and freeride. The beach is wide at low tide, giving plenty of room to launch and land.
