Schiermonnikoog dankt haar naam aan de middeleeuwse cisterciënzermonnikken en hun grijze pijen. Schier betekent grijs en oog betekent eiland. In het Fries zeg je Skiermûntseach maar de eilanders zeggen Schiermonnikeig of gebruiken de bijnaam Lytje Pole. Wil je echt kort zeg je Schier. Het eiland is in zijn geheel een Nationaal Park en daarom mag je ook hier je auto aan de wal laten staan en komen genieten van de fiets-en wandelpaden. Geniet van het diverse landschap van Schier.

Schiermonnikoog
nationaal park
Nationaal Park Schiermonnikoog, een van de meest ongerepte plekken in Nederland, is gevormd door krachtige zeestromen, sterke winden en stuivend zand.De natuur op dit eiland blijft in beweging. Op de Oosterkwelder en het strand volgt de natuur haar eigen gang, zonder menselijke inmenging. Dergelijke plekken zijn zeldzaam in Nederland, maar de flora en fauna gedijen hier juist door de invloed van wind, water, zand en zout. Als gast ben je welkom zolang je alleen voetsporen in het zand achterlaat.
vuurtorens
Het eilandherbergt twee vuurtorens in haar duinen. De Noordertoren en Zuidertoren staan slechts een kilometer uit elkaar. Beide torens werden halverwege de 19e eeuw gebouwd op bevel van koning Willem III. In die tijd had een vuurtoren een vast licht, wat het lastig maakte voor schepen op zee. Daarom werd een tweede vuurtoren gebouwd. Na vijftig jaar kreeg de rode Noordertoren een draaiend licht en werd de witte Zuidertoren overbodig, maar mocht ze blijven als watertoren.
de balg
De Balgexpres brengt je naar de uiterste oostpunt van Schiermonnikoog: De Balg. Door nabijgelegen diepe geulen spoelen er allerlei bijzondere schelpen aan en is het een ideale plek om schelpen te zoeken. Prachtige wulken en als je geluk hebt zelfs een noordkromp vind je hier. Daarnaast is de Balg dé plek om zeehonden te spotten. Tijdens eb liggen ze op de zandbank aan de overkant of komen nieuwsgierig langs zwemmen.
