Coast of Den Helder and the dunes in autumn. Den Helder's coast offers an impressive and diverse dune landscape along the North Sea. Here, wide beaches, high dunes and green dune valleys alternate, making the area ideal for walking and cycling. The dunes, overgrown with marram grass, sand bushes and wild flowers, form a natural barrier protecting the city and the land behind it from the force of the sea.
Along the coast, lookout points can be found with stunning views of the sea and the island of Texel. This dynamic area is home to a rich biodiversity; shorebirds and rabbits . In summer, the dunes are full of life and colours, while winter gives the landscape a hushed, rugged charm. The coast near Den Helder, with its untouched nature, shows the beauty and strength of the Dutch coastal landscape in every season.
