4.5 Shellmuseum (44 reviews)
- The greatest place to look at shells in the world.
Tuesday: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM, 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM Speciality Museums

This review was written by our 8-year old son. The museum was one of the best days of my life. I liked the giant crab and mini crabs, also the giant spiral shell and all the multi-colored shells, but my favorite thing was the man who owns the museum. He was so nice to explain everything in English, including the shell of the oldest and longest living creature in the world (life span of 400 years). He also taught me about birds and showed us a special nest. Then he told us where to go on the beach to find shells, and we stayed at the beach until dark and found many rare shells! See more..
4.5 Kerkhof Vredenhof (39 reviews)
- Special place to visit
Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Cemeteries

After a schipwreck in 1863 when 9 sailers washed up the beach of Schiermonninkoog a start was made with Vredenhof, a cementary ony for victoms of the sea and the war. It now has the remainders of over 100 sailers and soldiers mostly from te first and second World War. Coming from Franche, Germany, United Kingdom, Poland, New Zealand, Australia and Canada, these people have found their resting place here thanks to the people of the island. Its peaceful location in the dunes, surrounded by trees makes Vredenhof a very special place to stand still and commemorate the loss of lives. See more..
