Description
Maasvlakte Beach Rotterdam
Maasvlakte 2 is a mega dredging project during which the port of Rotterdam was artificially enlarged by reclaiming land from the North Sea. In addition to the economic benefits for the city of Rotterdam, a 7 kilometre-long sandy beach for recreation has been created near the former Slufter Beach, which is closed now.
