Then you also have long stonewalls in the water, every 300m one crosses the beach. So you have to be careful, when it's half low and half high tide, because the water above the stones is only a fem centimeters deep and you can't see them because they are not marked! If it's high tide, then you normally have waves from 1-3m, but they haven't got any clear direction. Most of them are running in the wind direction but because of the stone walls there are differences in the waves near to the coast.

There are 20-30 catamarans on the right hand side so you have to be careful there while launching the kite! There are small beach houses and there is a restaurant 50-100m from the launching area away. The sand is soft and sometimes there are small shells near to the water, so you could better go surfing with your wet shoes. There is enough space for launching the kite, be careful in summer with the crowds.

You have to launch the kite on the right-hand side after the yellow board which says "Ende Bewaakt Strand", which means end of the safe beach, because there aren't as many people as directly near to the restaurant and the entrance near to the road. But despite this, the lifeguards will see you if you are in big trouble and will help you with rescuing. You can wear what you want, but never go surfing there without a flotation vest, because it isn't really the easiest spot and there is stream in the water and you sometimes can't see it from the beach. So always check the water by going shortly a few meters in the water and you will see, whether it's fast or slow streaming on this day!
