The West Frisian Islands You should also experience the Wadden Sea and the West Frisian Islands. On your way to the West Frisian Islands you can see the seals lying on the sandbanks and enjoy the sun as the seagulls fly overhead. Enjoy the rural tranquillity of the West Frisian Islands, each with its own unique atmosphere and culture. Or why not cycle through the dunes and walk the long beaches. Between the islands, during the spring and summer months, ferries, especially for island hopping, sail back and forth (between Vlieland and Terschelling, there are routes all year round). All the West Frisian Islands are wonderful to visit. On Vlieland, Terschelling, Ameland and Schiermonnikoog you will always encounter silence, plenty of space and exceptional nature. Even in summer, when there are relatively more tourists, the West Frisian Islands have enough space for all the area's "fans".
