nollenstrand kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot
Netherlands · Zélande
Overview
Nollenstrand is an urban beach spot on the western edge of Vlissingen (Flushing), Zeeland's main port city. Located at the foot of the Nollen sea defence — a distinctive sloping concrete coastal protection structure — this spot offers a unique mix of kiting on the Westerschelde/North Sea interface, with large freighters and ferries as a backdrop.
The beach is sandy with good width at low tide. The wind generally arrives cleanly from the southwest to northwest. This is a practical spot for local riders who want to kite close to Vlissingen, without the need to travel to the larger beach resorts. Less crowded than Vrouwenpolder but with a more industrial atmosphere.
