The lighthouse on Texel, known as Eierland Lighthouse, stands at the northern tip of the island and has been a guiding beacon since 1864. Its distinctive red-and-white striped tower rises over the Wadden Sea and the North Sea, helping ships navigate the often tricky coastal waters. Visitors can climb the lighthouse for panoramic views of Texel’s sandy beaches, dunes, and surrounding sea, offering a striking perspective of the island’s natural beauty. Beyond its practical purpose, the lighthouse has become a symbol of Texel, representing both maritime heritage and the serene charm of the Dutch North Sea coast.
