How to get there
Drive to Friesland in the Netherlands, drive past Leeuwarden to Holwerd, take the boat here. The spots south are easily reached by car/bike. The north-spots are only reached by a car that has license to ride on the beach. Otherwise you can take the bike to go there. Go to the airport in Ameland. Then follow the way to the beach. Here you will find a lagoon on which you can kite with high tides. But the real thing is 1km out on the beach. This is cool because usually nobody is there.
