Neeltje Jans is a kitesurfing spot located on the artificial island of the Oosterscheldedam dam in Zeeland, Netherlands. Formerly used for the construction of the dikes protecting the area from the sea, it offers a wide beach with plenty of space to set up your gear.
The spot is accessible after a 10 to 15-minute walk from the parking lot under the bridge near the lock. It is a popular place for local kite schools due to its variable conditions depending on the tides and its often side onshore wind.
Less crowded than other Dutch spots, it mainly attracts experienced riders when the wind picks up, with a view of the Oosterschelde and large ships.
