Beach on Vlieland

Enjoy long walks along the beautiful sandy beach.

Take a walk 'around the east' or, as the islanders say 'around the point'.
Start your walk, e.g. at the bathing beach (Badhuys)and walk onto the beach. Walk towards the east; you will automatically arrive at the harbour.

» Beach finds

Take long walks on the beach and along the way enjoy all the beautiful special shells, starfish, crabs, shrimps, hermit crabs and jellyfish you find on the beach.

Also see all the different species of birds along the beach. Especially the sanderlings stand out because of their funny and fast way of walking. But also godwit, cormorants, oystercatchers and many kinds of gulls can be seen. They love a starfish.

No matter the weather - building sandcastles is always possible.
No imagination? Look around you, there are plenty of examples.
You do need a bit of patience.

» Evening

Evening on the beach, always beautiful.
Enjoying the setting sun. The sun as a big burning ball above the horizon. The sky turns red, orange and purple.

in the evening, the wind often dies down and it is wonderfully calm with the special light and beautifully coloured sky from the low sun.
