Late Summer on Texel
Late summer, or as many call it, an ‘Indian Summer’. But what exactly does that mean? An Indian Summer is the period from about mid-September to mid-November when the sun unexpectedly reappears, with clear blue skies, summery sunshine, and barely a breeze. A gift from Mother Nature that brings us back to summer. A perfect opportunity to enjoy everything that makes Texel so wonderful—its beaches, colourful nature, birdwatching, and relaxing on a sunny terrace… let the Indian Summer begin!

Activities during the Indian Summer
Just like in summer, there’s plenty to do on Texel during the Indian Summer. It’s an ideal time for those not tied to school holidays to enjoy a quieter Texel. The pleasant temperatures invite you to explore, whether on foot or by bike. Texel’s nature is incredibly diverse and unique, ranging from dunes and beaches to marshes, heathlands, and forests.
For those seeking more of a challenge, Texel offers plenty of adventurous options. Think water sports, horse riding, skydiving, or playing a round of golf on one of the most beautiful courses in the Netherlands.
Nature in Late Summer
In addition to its remarkable nature, late summer on Texel brings a period full of unique experiences. In the early morning, you can go dew-walking through the rolling dunes, where the heather is in full bloom, casting a stunning purple glow. It’s also the season when bird migration begins, turning Texel into a paradise for bird lovers. With thousands of birds gathering, it’s a spectacle not to be missed, whether you go exploring yourself or join a nature guide on an excursion.
And the perfect way to end the day? Visit the iconic lighthouse and enjoy a breathtaking sunset that bathes the sky and sea in a golden glow.
Indoor and Outdoor Enjoyment
Late summer on Texel is of course delightful, but even during an Indian Summer, the weather can occasionally be disappointing. No worries, because even on those days there’s plenty to do! From unique museums to cosy restaurants and charming (local) shops.
A visit to Ecomare is highly recommended. Here you can admire seals up close or view the massive skeletons in the Whale Hall.
Fancy relaxing with a cup of coffee? Make it extra special by visiting one of the beach pavilions, where you’ll enjoy a stunning sea view, an ideal spot, especially if you’ve brought your faithful four-legged friend!
