Why this spot
Centuries of beachcombing from lost cargo and wrecks
Texel's official tourist board describes beachcombing (jutten) as a centuries-old island practice driven by cargo lost in storms, now shown at the Flora beachcombing museum. Valuable items are rare today but storms still bring searchers out.View source →
