Before the shipwreck, a major battle took place in the northern part of North Holland between the British and Russians on the one hand and patriots and French on the other. After the British were defeated, their retreat by sea was enabled. The frigate "De Valk" was also deployed.

More than a hundred years later, another ship, the schooner Johan Willem Friso, ran aground. The ship was loaded with granite to be built for the Peace Palace in The Hague. After running aground, the ship sank somewhere between kilometer mark 5 and 6. A memorial stone was made from the granite of this ship to commemorate the victims of De Valk

Parts of the Atlantic Wall of WWII and parts of the bunker merged with the landscape over time. There was a position here with 2 radar posts and the associated bunkers. Code name was RITA. They were part of the 4th Marine Radio Measurement Detachment. The east side of the complex was mined to protect against unwanted visitors.

At this point you can see how the sea has nibbled the formerly closed dune chain and threatens to break into the island.

Sunset Beach Club Ameland

Highlight • Restaurant

A welcome invitation to relax, eat, listen to music and sit on upholstered benches in the sun. Anyone who doesn't come in barefoot is overdressed.

Ameland Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The legendary bar! There you can watch a wonderful sunset behind transparent windows protected from the wing. Even from the outside, the beach bar is a beautiful sight at dusk.
