't Mirnser Klif in Mirns, Friesland in the Netherlands, is a beach bordered by a cliff overlooking the IJsselmeer. It is a calm spot popular for walks and its natural setting, with a beach pavilion to relax.
The area combines grass and sand, accessible via paths from nearby places like Rijster Bosch. Locals enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and the proximity to shallow water.
Ideal for a kite session in a preserved environment, with parking available and a restaurant on site.
The spot at 't Mirnser Klif works well with winds from the south to west sector (E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W), which come side-shore to side-off relative to the beach facing the IJsselmeer. The launch area is directly on the flat sand, with a take-off zone on the grass at the top of the low cliff.
The navigation area is wide on the IJsselmeer, flat to chop depending on wind strength, with no marked waves due to the lake's protection. Be careful to stay offshore to avoid the cliff during jibes. Tides have little influence on the water surface, but check the timings for space at low tide.
Close to the KBC school in Hindeloopen, 10-15 minutes by car, perfect for combining a session and a break at the 't Mar pavilion. Typical wind at 23 kts gives a score of 51/100, with consistent power.
