‘s-Gravenzande kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot
Netherlands · Hollande-Méridionale
Overview
's-Gravenzande (Slag Beukel) is a relatively hidden North Sea wave spot between The Hague and Hoek van Holland — less crowded than surrounding spots. Deep water with medium waves when wind is directly onshore; little to medium waves in other directions. Strong currents and breakwaters make this an intermediate-to-advanced only spot.
L.A.B. Kitesurfschool operates a sea container base next to Beachclub Breeze with hot showers, locker rooms and secure storage. Paid parking directly in front of the beach (2 min walk to club). Dogs welcome year-round. More info: NKV Spotkaart
