Li'l J-Bay
Edit SpotAbout
The best spot around when there's a nice swell and when the sandbars are good...
Additional Info:
Works only a few times, when there's a nice NW swell and no wind. When there's a nice sandbar, the waves can be very long ( in terms of Belgian conditions). Prohibited to surf during summer season. Restricted to swimmers.

Between Knokke and Heist. Right in front of the dunes. (Near the swimming pool "de Raan". Where the dunes go over into the sea. Sometimes this makes a great sandbar.
