The Schiermonnikoog marina is a tidal port, so access is only possible when the water level is high. The average depth of the fairway is 1.50 meters. There is a restaurant right by the harbor that offers snacks, soup and salad.

Westerplas bird hide

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Westerplas is one of the few places on the island with fresh water. From the viewing cabin you can clearly see how many birds make grateful use of this beautiful puddle.

Noordertoren (Schiermonnikoog Lighthouse)

Highlight • Monument

This striking red lighthouse is called the Noordertoren, also known as the Buitentoren. The lighthouse was built in 1853 to guide shipping through dangerous shallows.

A Coast Guard lookout house was built in 1951, and in 1979 the tower received a new radar antenna lighthouse. The tower was painted red in 1998. Unfortunately, the tower is not accessible, but it is also an impressive sight from the outside.
