Overview
Terneuzen is located on the Western Scheldt in front of the Churchill Hotel. Flat to choppy water, good for freeride and freestyle. The beach floods at high tide, requiring entry/exit via the stone dam. Strong currents and shipping traffic make this an intermediate-only spot. Best season: April–June.
