The Dutch islands have often more wind then on the mainland, so it's often better than somewhere else in the country. You can vary on the spots you go to, depending on the wind. Spring and fall are the best for good winds. Winds are based on high and low pressure areas. Wind in spring and autumn usually 3-4 times a week. In summer it's less.
Transport: | Car |
Access: | Short Walk |
Drive to Friesland in the Netherlands, drive past Leeuwarden to Holwerd, take the boat here. The spots south are easily reached by car/bike. The north-spots are only reached by a car that has license to ride on the beach. Otherwise you can take the bike to go there.
For the North-side you need a license. But it has never been checked by the police.
Party starts around twelve. Nice places to go are Nescafe and Swinging Mill (prepare for a lot of kids, from 16 years and up).
