Sixteen years ago, the Wadden Sea was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO – a title to be proud of! On Saturday 28 June 2025, you can celebrate this special anniversary with an atmospheric breakfast on the dike at Grandhotel Beatrix in Huisduinen. With a view of the Wadden Sea and the De Lange Jaap lighthouse, you can enjoy a table full of regional products, while a guide from the Waddenvereniging takes you on a journey through the story of the Wadden Sea: why the area is so unique, how it is valued worldwide, and what we can do to preserve it.
After breakfast there is the opportunity to explore the area further with the guide. The combination of delicious food, beautiful views and fascinating stories makes this a unique experience for nature lovers, families or anyone who has a soft spot for the Wadden Sea. Breakfast on the dike is part of the Day of the Wadden Sea – a national celebration of this special nature reserve.
