This is Living in
Den Helder, City by the Sea

Living in Den Helder, the City by the Sea. A city in full development, where the Wadden Sea seamlessly merges with the city and nature is literally around the corner. Something beautiful is emerging here. And you can go live there. In the coming years, there will still be plenty of construction and renovation in places where nightlife once buzzed, where the city theatre stood, and where V&D dominated the main shopping street for years. But a strong, fresh wind is blowing through the city's streets.

""A journalist from De Telegraaf once asked me what on earth I was doing in Den Helder.""

Yanaika Zomer – city poet, writer, and born coastal woman – traded her student room back then for the one and only true homecoming: the sea. In her columns on stadaanzee.nl, she writes about her love for Den Helder, the dike, and her new home on Molenplein.
