Expansive coastal dunes, wind-sculpted ridges, beach and sea views with nearby lighthouse and rich birdlife make Dunes of Texel a top spot for landscape and nature photography. Best at sunrise on the east coast and sunset on the west for dramatic light; spring brings flowers, autumn/winter moody skies. Park access is free; marked trails, boardwalks and bike paths from Den Burg; parking at visitor centres (Ecomare) and trailheads. Respect dunes and nesting areas; bring windproof clothing and sand
