Kitespot Den Helder is actually located in Huisduinen. This is an advanced kitesurfing spot with really strong currents and waves. Please keep this in mind if you have to walk at altitude. Between the breakwaters the water is flatter and outside it is a big pool of slosh. About 2 km off the coast is the Noorderhaaks sandbank, also known as Razende Bol. At low tide this sandbank can be 700 hectares in size. Under certain conditions you are allowed to kite on the west side of the sandbar. The Razendebol is an important breeding and resting area for birds, some of which are on the red list, and seals. That is why we do not recommend going kiting here, so that it also remains a rest area! After all, there are plenty of other spots.

Huisduinerpolder
The nature that surrounds Den Helder is fairly unknown, but certainly worth the effort. For example the "Huisduinerpolder". Located behind the hospital of Den Helder starts a path to the marshy polder, next to Fort Erfprins. The brackish influence of the North Sea water is noticeable in the vegetation due to the presence of salt-loving plants. In spring and autumn there are large numbers of curlews, sandpipers and oystercatchers at high tide. Brent geese, snow buntings and moorhens look for food in the winter. The polder is a breeding ground for reed singers and redshanks.
