But that doesn’t mean to say that there isn’t still plenty to do in this area and renting a serviced apartment or holiday letting in West-Terschelling allows you full access to all that this lively port city has to offer.

The landscapes here are just stunning and are celebrated by the folk of West-Terschelling in many ways.

There is also an aquarium filled with wonderful sea creatures for you to admire.

Just a short distance from your apartment rental or aparthotel in West-Terschelling is another celebrated area, De Boschplaat.
