We walked along this beach whilst waiting for a tour to start. Its incredibly quiet, clean and beautiful. The different coloured cabins, and the lighthouse at the back compliment this gem beautifully. Enjoyed collecting seashells along the shore too.

Once in Texel it should be definitely in agenda as a typical activity of this island. Very nice atmosphere close to the nature, good choice of cheeses and an interesting and informative introduction into the process of cheese production. This can be directly observed through the glass windows. One can also watch the video narrating of all the details. In the shop it’s possible to try various sorts of cheese produced at the farm, and some cosmetic products.
