Waddenhaven Texel
Visiting by boat
Waddenhaven Texel sits right in the heart of Oudeschild, a working fishing village on the Wadden Sea side of Texel — one of the more characterful spots you'll find to drop anchor in the Netherlands. You're steps from the village's fish smokeries and the excellent Kaap Skil maritime museum, and there's a small beach right alongside the marina. The harbour welcomes transient sailors and has solid facilities, with the wild Wadden Sea landscape and Texel's cycling routes all within easy reach.
