Workum
Workum Strand, located on the shores of the IJsselmeer in Friesland, is a popular spot for kiters due to its shallow water and relaxed atmosphere. The sandy beach and large lawn nearby allow for easy kite setup, while the free parking is right by the water.
The right side of the beach is reserved for kiters, the center for swimmers with a line of buoys, and the left for windsurfers. It is an ideal place to progress, with kite schools on-site and a friendly atmosphere where everyone helps each other.
Open year-round, it attracts many people in the summer, especially Germans, and offers consistent conditions for all levels.
