About the spot

The Wadden side of the dike offers shallow water strongly influenced by the tide. Water level determines which areas remain usable and whether a return is possible. The neighbouring Lauwersmeer zone is a separate venue with a different season.

Alterations to the dike access have reduced rigging space. Sharp submerged stones require protective footwear and a carefully chosen entry. Although parts are shallow, the constrained access means this should not be treated as an unrestricted beginner beach.
