Reading the wind on the east beach

Windsurfing, kiting, paddling. On the fine sandy beach of Holnis, the wind decides what works today.

Reading the wind on the east beach

The east side of the peninsula has a fine sandy beach with beach chairs. On calm days it is a good spot for SUP and first attempts on a board.

Lessons and equipment are available at the local surf station. Ask there about current conditions.
