Ameland island life

Get some fresh air, build sandcastles with the kids or read a relaxing book in the sun. After a lovely day at the beach, you can enjoy a snack and a drink in one of the beach pavilions. Hollum Beach has the international Blue Flag environmental award. The bathing water is of excellent quality and the sandy beach is kept very clean.
