Ameland

Tucked between the Wadden Sea and the North Sea, Ameland is an island whose character is shaped by tides, dunes and broad beaches. Part of the West Frisian Islands off the northern Dutch coast, it has four villages—Hollum, Ballum, Nes and Buren—connected by roads and cycle paths across its low-lying terrain. The red-and-white Bornrif lighthouse in Hollum, built in 1880, is the island’s most recognisable landmark. Ameland also lies beside the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea, where tidal flats provide feeding grounds for many birds.
