Kiting and surfing

Kitesurfing preferably requires long stretches of shallow water. The coast off Onderdijk is ideally suited for this spectacular sport. For beginners and experienced kitesurfers. But certainly also as a non-practitioner a spectacle to watch.

The place where land and water meet

The IJsselmeer, but also the countless ways to explore our surroundings with your boat. We don't call Medemblik so versatile for nothing. Did you know that we developed a special fishing and boating map for sailing in our hinterland? Ask for it at the tourist information points!
