Widest beach in the Netherlands

Terschelling has the widest beach in the Netherlands and it attracts a lot of visitors. The wide beach provides enough space for everyone. Privacy guaranteed! 

The distance between Baaiduinen and the beach is 3.5 km. There is a choice between West aan Zee and Midsland aan Zee. Both are about equally close. There is good parking for cars and bicycles and both entrances have their own catering facilities.

Of course, it's time for a tasty snack every now and then. There are several occasions where drinks, ice creams, lunch and dinner are served: 

- De Walvis, West Terschelling 
- Beach pavilion West aan Zee, West aan Zee 
- Beach pavilion De Branding, Midsland aan Zee - ZandZeeBar, Formerum 
- Kaap Hoorn, Hoorn (other side of the dune) 
- Beach pavilion Heartbreak Hotel, Oosterend 

What Terschelling really prides itself on is the well-maintained beach, which is cleaned daily. The rescue brigades keep a close eye on the safety of islanders and tourists during the summer holidays. To this end, there are several first aid posts at West aan Zee, Midsland aan Zee and Formerum aan Zee.
