Beaches

 

Texel's beach has a length of no less than 30 kilometres; you will experience the ultimate feeling of freedom here. Put on your walking shoes and let the wind blow through your hair during a beach walk along the tide line. Or take off your shoes and enjoy a lovely sunny afternoon by the sea.

 

Texel's most popular beach is the beautiful sandy beach at De Koog, which is pleasantly crowded in good weather. For a bit more peace and quiet, go to the vast beach area De Hors, in the south of Texel. More info >
