Active Sports & Outdoor Hotspots

Zoutelande Surf & Paragliding Zone

Info: Extreme Sports & Outdoors | Get Directions ↗

Blessed with the highest dunes in the entire country, Zoutelande is widely recognized as the absolute premier destination in the Netherlands for paragliding and hang gliding. When the sea breeze blows from the southwest, it creates a spectacular, powerful updraft against the dune walls, allowing pilots to soar high above the coastline for hours. On the beach below, the coastal waves crashing against the iconic wooden breakwaters provide thrilling conditions for local surfers and paddleboarders looking for an active day in the sea.

Live Watersport Conditions & Advice:
With today's sample breeze of 11.2 km/h (Offshore), the North Sea has transformed into a remarkably peaceful, glassy mirror. While there are no big waves for heavy surfing or strong updrafts for paragliding today, it is the absolute perfect morning to launch a Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP) or kayak into the gentle, crystal-clear waters right off the shore.

Note: Remember to bring your own equipment, as local gear rentals are located at the professional surf hubs in nearby Domburg or Vrouwenpolder.
