De Koog

De Koog is the second largest village on Texel. It is located against the De Duinen van Texel National Park, only two rows of dunes away from the North Sea. The village is the most touristic town on the island.

Schipbreuk- and Juttersmuseum Flora and Ecomare

From De Koog you can visit several nice museums, such as Shipwreck and Beachcombing Museum Flora or Ecomare. At Ecomare you will learn more about the Wadden Sea World Heritage, the North Sea and nature on Texel. You can take a closer look at the animals that live here! TIP: buying tickets in advance pays a discount. At Flora you will find a wide variety of beach finds from more than 75 years! Experience the world of beachcombing, pilotage and rescue and fishing.

De Jan Plezier

De Koog is a good base not only for beach lovers, but also for nature lovers. From De Koog you can walk to the De Nederlanden or De Muy nature reserve. Would you like to discover nature in a different way? Jan Plezier leaves twice a day at the Nikadel bus stop (next to the Lidl). During this covered wagon ride, the coachman tells you everything you encounter along the way. Halfway through you will get coffee and tea with a treat, and after about 3 hours you will be dropped off at the bus stop again.

Shopping souvenirs

Always nice to bring a souvenir for the home front. You have come to the right place in De Koog. And in De Koog it is shopping Sunday every Sunday! All year round. ‘ In summer there are many markets and there is a street fair every Tuesday.

Oranjerie 't Vogelhuis

Because De Koog is so popular with tourists, the range in restaurants has also been adapted to this. What we think is a very nice restaurant is Oranjerie ‘ t Vogelhuis. You will find this in the beginning of the Dorpsstraat and everything on the menu is tasty! Bries20 (post 20) and Beachclub Texel (post 19.5) are also nice places where you can enjoy the beach of De Koog.

For example our apartments Juliana or Zeedistel. Beautiful apartments on the dune on the edge of De Koog.

Not only is there a lot to do on the beach, in the woods and the seaside resort of De Koog, our accommodations are also designed to ensure that every individual gets their money's worth.

Although De Koog is a holiday village, where you will find a lot of entertainment, you are not deprived of nature. On the contrary, the Juliana apartment complex is located in the middle of the dunes and only 150 m from the village center. Although the bungalows on the Orchismient are located in a bungalow district, it is completely embedded in the National Park De Duinen van Texel. You can walk straight into the forest from your bungalow. To get a good idea of the work of nature, there is a 14.5 km walking route Duinen van Texel around De Koog, which can be downloaded on routeyou.

In the Seeting hiking area, the section between De Koog and Ecomare, the hiking trails are also suitable for mobility scooters and wheelchairs.

Ask at the reception of Ecomare.
