Vlieland

Vlieland, the most westerly and the smallest of the West Frisian islands (12km/7.5mi long, 2km/1.25mi across), has a beautiful beach. It can be reached by ferry from Harlingen. No cars are allowed on the island. The Vliehors sand-flats to the west of the island are now a gunnery range.

Oost-Vlieland, Netherlands
Since West-Vlieland was engulfed by the sea in the 18th century Vlieland's only village has been Oost-Vlieland, situated at the eastern tip of the island amid coniferous and deciduous woodland. The village church (1605) contains a fine pulpit, an 18th century organ, a number of tombs and one of the five brass lamps presented to the church by Admiral de Ruyter, who - like Admiral Tromp - had a house on the island.
