All lost, hungry and thirsty souls should head straight for the 'Texels Speciaalbier' flag to find a beachside paradise where a local brew is always available on draught. Strandpaal 19half looks more like a traditional grand café than a beach pavilion with its porcelain beer signs, assorted nick-nacks and brown leather chairs. That said, the less conventional view of the seemingly endless North Sea can't be beat. The building itself is built on sturdy wooden pilings that make it look nearly tsunami proof. Famished patrons should try the the Waddengoud Lamsracks or the Texel's Tournedos, but if you'd like to impress your better half then order a bottle of Moët & Chandon for €60 and watch the sun slip down beyond the horizon.
