Description
This paragliding site is located in the Rotterdam Harbour region of the Netherlands. It is occasionally used for local low wind soaring, with ideal wind speeds ranging from 15-20 km/h.
The dikes and dunes surrounding the peninsula offer good soaring conditions. While landing in the dunes is not prohibited, it is not recommended due to the difficulty of retrieving your glider from the vegetation.
At the north launch site, it is advisable to land if large cargo ships are passing between the breakwater and the beach. The rotors created by these ships can still affect your flight despite the distance.
The Slufter Beach, located on the southwestern shore of the peninsula, is popular among soaring enthusiasts. Launching is likely permitted everywhere along this beach.

Directions: From the Rotterdam ring road, take the A15 towards Europoort. The A15 transitions into the N15. After reaching Europoort, continue on the N15 towards Maasvlakte, following the well-marked signs. The N15 then becomes Europaweg, which provides access to the peninsula.
To reach the north launch site, follow Europaweg after leaving the N15. After a long curve at the northwestern end of the island, turn left onto 'Stag Maasmond' to reach the beach.
For the west launch site, approximately 4 kilometers after leaving the N15, follow the signs for 'Strand Slufter'.
