With kids on Vlieland

Whether you are a parent, grandparent or babysitter: Vlieland is a wonderful destination for children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers.

• Playing on the beach: children never get bored on the beach, with shell hunting, building sandcastles, flying kites and paddling.
• Catching crabs: with a net and a bucket, children search for crabs and shrimps at low tide; the tide table shows when the tide is out.
• Into nature: explore the area together on a walk or a bike ride through dunes, woods and polders.
• Seals: one of the best outings with children is seal spotting, for example on a boat trip to the sandbanks.
• Mudflat walking: with a guide, children walk across the exposed seabed and discover what lives in the mudflats; read more about mudflat hiking.
• Island adventure: the ferry crossing is the start of the adventure for children, and almost everything on the island is easy to reach by bike.
• When it rains: if the weather lets you down, choose from the museums and attractions, and keep an eye on the weather forecast.
