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 match the seasons and suit a wide audience. From fresh fish to vegetarian and child-friendly options: there is something delicious for everyone. Known highlights include the generous burgers, the hearty fish soup, and the rotating specials. For a drink, there is a wide choice of beers, wines, and refreshing cocktails. Whether you drop by for lunch, dinner, or just a drink by the sea, you are always welcome.

What makes Paal 9 truly special is their commitment to sustainability. The pavilion operates on green energy and chooses local products whenever possible to keep its ecological footprint small. Waste is also carefully separated, and they actively work on limiting plastic use. In the kitchen, conscious handling of ingredients is key, ensuring that waste is prevented as much as possible.
