Texel, an island in the Wadden Sea, offers excellent surfing spots for both beginners and advanced surfers. The most famous surfing spot is Paal 17, where the waves are ideal for surfing lessons and free surfing. Paal 9 and Paal 12 are also popular locations, with slightly calmer water and beautiful beaches. The unspoilt nature and clear water make Texel a great destination for surfers.
