Texel is the place to spend Valentine's Day together. Whether you want to relax together, explore nature or dine romantically overlooking the sea, Texel offers everything for a wonderful weekend together. Here are five tips for a romantic Valentine's weekend on Texel.

1. Romantic beach walk at sunset

Texel has beautiful beaches that are perfect for a romantic walk at sunset. Along the way, you can enjoy the view of the dunes and the sea. You might even see seals along the shore. Complete the walk with a hot chocolate or a glass of wine at one of the atmospheric beach pavilions. Or find a nice spot in the dunes and stay put until the sun disappears behind the horizon.
