The island of Texel is a paradise for beach vacationers, with its 30 km long sandy beach. However, Texel has even more to offer: seven villages, each lovelier than the last, and unique nature reserves. Texel can also be reached quickly. You'll be on the island in only twenty minutes with the ferry from Den Helder!

The main point of Texel is Den Burg, which is situated in the center, making it the first point of contact of the island for many visitors. Good restaurants, pretty shops and the local tourist information office are all located in the historic center of Den Burg. The only place on the island which lies directly on the North Sea beach is De Koog. People come together in the Dorpsstraat - going out, shopping and wandering. The beach at De Koog contains plenty of opportunities for water sports and other activities. The area's direct location by the sea makes it very popular with tourists, and there are several hotels and vacation parks. The northernmost island area is De Cocksdorp, located near the attractive lighthouse and the unique nature reserve for birds. The historic villages of Oosterend and De Waal are very charming and idyllic. The harbor of Oudeschild by the Wadden Sea is an attractive place, with fishing boats, windmills and the interesting Kaap Skil museum. The southernmost village of Texel, Den Hoorn, is known for its romantic church, the surrounding tulip fields, and its arts events.
