The Sand Motor is an innovative coastal engineering project located on the Dutch coast. It involves the strategic deposition of a large volume of sand in one location, allowing natural forces like wind, waves, and tides to distribute the sand along the shore over time. This method supports coastal protection, beach nourishment, and nature development while reducing the need for frequent human intervention. The Sand Motor demonstrates a sustainable approach to managing coastal erosion and enhancing resilience against sea-level rise. Additionally, it has become a popular spot for kitesurfing due to the favorable wind and water conditions created by the unique coastal formation.
