The beach ramps of den Hoorn have been in the picture for a longer time now. In the fall of 2015 the foundation Loodsen door het Landschap together with the municipality of Texel, Staatbosbeheer and the owners of the beach pavilions of post 9 and 12 have issued a competition to increase the attractiveness of the beach ramps and to improve their implementation into the natural surroundings. This includes the nearby parking areas and beach pavilions.
