Kitesurfing is permitted at four locations on Ameland. Three on the North Sea coast and one on the Wadden Sea. Pay close attention to currents, wind direction, and the designated zones.

1. Hollum (poles 3–4)

Wide beach spot with space for kite buggies. Not suitable for beginners due to strong currents and waves.

2. Nes – Westerpad (poles 8.200–11.000)

3. Buren (poles 17.400–19.000)

Quieter spot behind campsite Klein Vaarwater. Same conditions as Westerpad, but less crowded. Kitesurfing lessons available.
