Texel's lighthouse is located on the northernmost tip of the island. The bright red lighthouse has 118 steps and has a height of 45m above sea level. Normally open for visits, but unfortunately temporarily closed due to corona. Check vuurtorentexel.nl for new updates.

Historic lighthouse by the sea, with spiral steel staircase and scenic views from the top.

The island of Texel is a little insider tip. The lighthouse and the bike path in the dunes is great.

Vuurtoren is one of the most famous landmarks of Texel. Especially at sunset, you often experience a great scenic play of colors.

The lighthouse of Texel is the only lighthouse in the Netherlands, which looks out to three sides on the sea. At the North Sea and the Wadden Sea.

Especially in the early morning, shortly after sunrise, it is very nice there. From 9.00 clock people come to crowds there. The sight of the lighthouse is still beautiful, only the peace is gone.

The lighthouse can be visited and has a great view of Vlieland. There is a restaurant and a Strandpaal here. The beach is very wide, for walking and collecting shells great. You are not allowed to swim at this beach.
A special highlight are the kite buggies, which make their rounds here in good weather.

The path from De Cocksdorp is spectacular, it goes along the sea side of the dike directly along the coast. In front of the lighthouse is a nice restaurant, after the lighthouse comes a fantastic beach.

The bike paths on Texel in particular are perfect; you can even circle the island in 4.5 hours. A really great trip with many highlights.

A historic lighthouse with a great view. Climbing the lighthouse involves 118 steps to the top. Entry costs €5.50 per person.

Sandwiched between the North Sea and the Wadden Sea, the lighthouse, Texel's landmark, stands at the northernmost tip of Texel. The lighthouse was built in 1864 and still does its work every night.
The lighthouse has 153 steps, 118 of which are accessible to visitors. You climb the six floors of the tower via a spiral staircase. At 47 meters above sea level, you will be rewarded with the most beautiful view on the entire island. The Texel lighthouse is the only lighthouse in the Netherlands that has a view of the sea from three sides. When the weather is clear you can even see Vlieland, Wieringen and Den Helder.
The lighthouse was heavily bombed in 1945. The shot tower remained standing, but a new tower wall was built around the lighthouse.

The lighthouse is worth a visit, unfortunately you can't get there directly by car or bike, so you have to walk. The route is a bit tricky for those with disabilities.

Beautiful lighthouse in the north of Texel. It is open to the public. The huge beach on the northern headland is gigantic and you almost have the impression of being in the desert. However, swimming is prohibited due to the strong current.

This beach is hard to top. Breathtaking panorama, both at low and high tide.
