Den Helder

Den Helder has served as a naval port in North Holland since the early 19th century. It occupies the northern tip of the Dutch mainland, where the Marsdiep tidal strait connects the Wadden Sea with the North Sea and separates the town from the island of Texel. Den Helder remains the principal base of the Royal Netherlands Navy. Willemsoord, its former naval dockyard, preserves this maritime identity as a waterfront area with museums, restaurants and cultural venues. Ferries crossing the Marsdiep make the town an important link with Texel. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Den Helder and the Wadden coast relate to their surroundings.
