The area can only be reached via Ecomare and is about 50 hectares in size. Ecomare teaches people that nature is vulnerable and hopes to motivate people to contribute to its protection through information, education and the care of birds and seals. Together with Museum Kaap Skil, the Lighthouse and the Oudheidkamer, Ecomare is part of the Texel Museum Foundation.

Texel became an island in 1170 when it was separated from the mainland by the All Saints' Flood. The landscape on Texel is very different from that of the other Wadden islands. The other Wadden islands mainly consist of sand and dune areas. After the Ice Age, a thick boulder clay layer remained on Texel, making the soil much more fertile and allowing the land to develop differently. Fly with us and discover this beautiful island!

Seals are not that hard to find around Terschelling. The beautiful nature, the clean water, the environment and the peace and quiet have a positive influence on the seals and therefore large seal colonies live off the coast. They laze a lot on the beach and on the sandbanks where they enjoy the sun. And with a bit of luck, porpoises can be spotted from the air (The smallest type of whale that has about the size of a dolphin). A good way to spot these animals is by plane!
