Search after winter storms from the north-west and north, in the band of seaweed and wood. Amber is rare on the Dutch islands, but it does turn up.
Wind and waves work best from: N, NW, NE.
Local rules
Collecting on the beach is allowed. The eastern tip of the island, Het Oerd, is a nature area with restrictions in the breeding season. Do not walk out on the tidal flats without a licensed guide.
