Domburg

Domburg, Zeeland, Netherlands
🪨Rocks🌀Strong rips

Domburg is Zeeland's cold-water jewel—a more exposed beach than Scheveningen that catches slightly more North Sea swell thanks to its southwestern position. The historic resort town atmosphere combines Dutch coastal charm with serious surf culture. When winter storms light up the North Sea, Domburg can produce powerful, challenging waves that test even experienced surfers. The commitment required to surf here in winter—battling cold, wind, and currents—separates true Dutch surfers from fair-weather riders.
