Largest of the Wadden Islands (Frisian archipelago) off the North Holland coast — 25 minutes by ferry from Den Helder. Den Burg (the small inland village) and De Koog (the beach-tourism strip) are the walkable cores; the rest is dunes, sheep pastures, and mudflats (the Wadden Sea is a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Netherlands has no DNV; skilled-migrant or zelfstandige routes. Schengen. The structural draws are unique-in-NL island geography, deep cycling infrastructure (a flat island of bike paths), and the Lammetjesdagen lamb-spring tourism. Summer (June-August) tourist density is real; winter is quiet but accommodation closes.
