Strandpaviljoen Paal 9 is tucked away behind the dunes near Den Hoorn and is one of the most atmospheric spots to enjoy the beach, the sea and Texel hospitality. The pavilion has a warm, casual feel that perfectly complements the vast surrounding nature. As soon as you step inside or settle down on the terrace, you will notice the relaxed atmosphere and feel right at home.

The menu features dishes that suit the seasons and a wide audience. From fresh fish to vegetarian and child-friendly options: there is something delicious for everyone. Highlights include the generous burgers, the well-filled fish soup and the rotating specials. For a drink, there is an extensive choice of beers, wines and refreshing cocktails. Whether you visit for lunch, dinner or just a drink by the sea, you will always receive a hospitable welcome.

What makes Paal 9 truly special is their commitment to sustainability. The pavilion operates on green energy and chooses local products wherever possible to keep its ecological footprint small. Waste is also carefully separated and active efforts are made to limit the use of plastic. In the kitchen, the focus is on conscious handling of ingredients, preventing waste as much as possible.
