Paddling near Vlaardingen, South Holland

Vlaardingen sits on the south bank of the Nieuwe Maas in South Holland, a densely networked delta region where rivers, poldervaarten and broad tidal waters converge. The Vlaardingervaart runs directly through the city, and the wider area connects paddlers to the Nieuwe Maas and, further afield, to expansive waters such as the Haringvliet and Hollandsch Diep. SUP is particularly active locally, with rental operations running directly from Vlaardingen.
