De Bunker kitesurf spot
Netherlands · Noord-Holland
Overview
Large sandy beach.
Choppy water with a beach break, some surfers, no particular difficulty
Caution, there is a launch area for a rescue boat with a huge tracked Trax vehicle, to be avoided.
The beach bar built on the bunker is quite cool
You can see the smoke and chimneys of factories on the other side of the canal, not very pretty.
