A small port village in the north of the island of Texel, close to most of the island's nature reserves.

This small harbor village in the north of the island is the counterpart of T'Horntje in the south. Nearby are most of the island's nature reserves (including the De Krim campsite). The ferry to the other, wilder islands leaves from here. Head for the lighthouse about 1 km away (which you can visit to admire the superb view). Even if you don't go inside, you'll be taken aback by the superb spectacle on offer, as the strong wind sweeps across the superb white-sand beach, which at times seems to stretch on forever.

Depuis Oudeschild il faut à peu près 1h en vélo (beaucoup moins si vous avez le vent dans le dos, env. 30 min). Vous arrivez au pied d'un joli phare, pour 3,5€ vous pouvez monter tout en haut et le visiter (à chaque étage il y a des explications sur l'histoire du phare). Marcel (qui nous a vendu les tickets du phare) est très gentil et vous fera profiter de sa connaissance de l'île à grands renforts de conseils et d'astuces!
Par temps clair il y a une jolie vue sur les îles alentours et la terre. Profitez en aussi pour aller vous balader sur la jolie plage de sable fin!
The village is nothing extraordinary. Not really then what you must once here, it is to as quickly as possible lighthouse which must be 1 miles away (the 3rd visit but good a lighthouse remains a lighthouse then abstains to visit if you can), put your car and descends towards the beach feet. Once in front of this, you will have the cut breath!!!! Guaranteed! You will need then well 10 to 15 minutes before heading to the seaside going on fine sand. Bring kites, kite surfing... because the wind rather extremely blows. It is relaxing and unique pleasure to see this stretch on the right, on the left and in front of you. Moreover, the population will not come to be attached to you on our beaches in France. Then to enjoy and there are 2/3 snacks sell on the parking horns fried and sausages.
