Oudeschild is the only village on Texel that is located directly on the sea. The village is home to the Texel fishing fleet and has an irresistible appeal with its sturdy charm. Detached holiday home De Bruinvis is quietly located on a car-free street, on the edge of the village. At 850 meters from your holiday home you will find the harbor where you can go on shrimp fishing with Texel cutters. At the same distance is a quiet and sheltered Wadden Sea beach. In the museum Kaap Skil you can get acquainted with the beachcombing and maritime past of Texel. Just outside Oudeschild - at the foot of the Hoge Berg nature reserve - you will find De Wezenputten. Beautiful cycling routes also run outside the dike, to the north and south.
