Overview

Huisduinen (Den Helder) is a North Sea kitespot at the very tip of Noord-Holland, between two jetties. The pier provides some protection, offering flat to choppy water in moderate conditions and small waves with stronger winds. Best with winds from N, NW or W.

Famous as the starting point for experienced riders wanting to kite around or toward the uninhabited sand island Razende Bol (Noorderhaaks) — a unique adventure in the Wadden Sea. Best season: June–July and October–March. More info: NKV Spotkaart
