Ameland offers wonderful opportunities to walk with your four-legged friend: dogs are therefore very welcome on Ameland.
Since we wish to protect our Ameland nature, a few rules apply.
With the exception of the "groene strand" near Ballum and the bathing beaches at the beach crossings, well-trained dogs may run free on the beaches.
In addition, 3 further run-free zones for dogs have been designated on the island;
at the "kwekerijbos" in Nes
adjacent to Roosdunen in Ballum
next to Koudenburg in Hollum
In all other areas on the island, such as in the forests, dunes, grazing areas, villages, and along the Wad, please keep your dog on a lead.
