Rich in wind and water

Medemblik is the paradise for the sailor, recreational skipper, kite surfer, swimmer and fisherman. Come and get acquainted in, on or below the water surface. Medemblik is located directly on the IJsselmeer and is surrounded by water.

The calm waters are a refreshing source of endless entertainment. With a boat you sail through canals and narrow ditches through the city itself and picturesque surrounding villages. Come swim or kite at one of the beaches or find a quiet place to cast your fishing rod.
