There was all of this foamy stuff by the edge of the water. I was sort of alarmed when the wind started blowing and these balls of slimy foam were blown across my feet. But then I noticed that other people were walking through it and all these kids were playing in it - so hopefully it's not anything too nasty!
There are dunes separating the beach from the town of De Koog. Within the dunes there appears to be hundreds of campsites cramed into a tiny space. I'm not really sure what the point of camping here would be - the center of town is a 2 minute walk away on the other side of the dunes and there was loud techno music blasting from some large building located within the dunes. But camping here seems to be very popular. I guess if you wanted to go to the bar or out for a nice meal while camping it would be convienent? I'll have to check out some of the other camping spots on the island and see if they're all like this or not...
I guess one good thing about these campsites is that they are located right off of a paved bike path. It's sort of amazing how much stuff people carry on their bikes here. I saw someone yesterday who had a sleeping bag, tent, large cook stove, frame pack, food and a bunch of other stuff on the back of his bike.
