Zandvoort is the classic "Amsterdam beach" kitespot, 30 minutes by direct train from Amsterdam Central. Long sandy beach with consistent SW–NNW winds and steady conditions. Unlike busier Noord-Holland spots, Zandvoort rarely gets overcrowded at the kite zone.
Host of prestigious events including Red Bull Megaloop and GKA competitions. Rip currents visible by wave patterns — stay aware. Surf school and rentals: Surfana. Beach clubs: Rapa Nui, The Spot (with regular kite-friendly parties). Accommodation available directly next to the spot.
Wind: NNW–SE. Best for freeride and freestyle. More info: NKV Spotkaart
