Wave surfing in Callantsoog and rules for activities on the beach

On days with good weather and a large influx of beachgoers, the lifeguards may send wave surfers away or require them to surf only at the activity beach, which is located on the north side, as seen from beach club De Stern.

Although the information boards with icons on the beach only mention windsurfing and motorboats and a surfing beach is mentioned in addition to the activity beach, the surfing beach is not marked on the map. As a result, the rescue brigade may sometimes take strict measures. However, it is important to note that wave surfers are generally not a direct threat to other beachgoers. Despite the sometimes strict action of the rescue brigade, there seems to be less attention for maintaining the safety of swimmers at the Activities Beach.

Although the information may not be optimal and it can be frustrating that as a wave surfer you are not allowed to surf at the best surfing spot, it is wise to choose the Activity Beach for wave surfing on days with good weather and many beachgoers.
