About the spot

Schillig has a sandy shoreline beside extensive tidal flats. Local tuition uses the shallower water. Higher water and stronger wind bring chop, while ebb can mean long carries or insufficient depth.

Keep the designated kite zone separate from busy swimming areas. Discuss tide, channels and return route before launching. The broad beach provides usable line space only where sports access is actually permitted.
