Westenschouwen is a wild North Sea beach on the western coast of Schouwen-Duiveland, flanked by the spectacular Boswachterij Westenschouwen — a unique Dutch dune forest of pine trees, dunes and dune lakes. The beach is wide and offers an impressive view of the Oosterschelde storm surge barrier.
This is the only official kitesurfing spot on the Schouwen-Duiveland North Sea coast. The area is designated as a "sportsstrand" with a defined kite zone. Note: kitesurfing is forbidden at the Watergat area (seal habitat) and along all other stretches of the Schouwen coast.
Wide beach at low tide with wave conditions possible in strong NW wind. Intermediate level due to waves and variable currents.
Open all year round
Intermediate
Park at Parkeerterrein Strand Westenschouwen or at the Westenschouwen roundabout. Approximately 10–15 minutes walk to the beach through the dune path.
⚠️ Strict zone rules: kitesurfing only in the designated sportsstrand area. Forbidden on all other stretches of the Schouwen coast (fines apply).
⚠️ Watergat area: seals present — kitesurfing and surfing are prohibited in this adjacent section.
⚠️ Currents: the coast is protected by groynes — watch for currents between structures, especially around tide changes.
