The island of Texel is 25 kilometres long and 8 kilometres wide. It is an ideal place to unwind and appreciate nature. Almost all of Texel's dunes are a national park, which also includes some forestland. The variety of landscapes, ranging from forest to dunes to seashore, makes the national park a fascinating area that is well worth protecting.

Numerous activities
Texel offers numerous activities for tourists at all times of the year. Although, the summer is high season, spring and autumn are equally suited to a pleasant stay. Bundling up and walking along a wind-swept beach is not only invigorating, it's an excellent way to escape the pressures of daily life.

And did you know that Texel has the most hours of sunshine in the Netherlands?
