Overview

The Weststrand of Norderney is located on the west coast of the island, before the Kaiserwiese. A kite and windsurf spot with groynes, conditions similar to Januskopf but on the west face — calmer and less crowded. Views of the mainland (Norddeich) on clear days. Works well with N/NW/W winds. A lesser-known alternative when other spots are packed.
