The Netherlands' Island of Schiermoniikoog
Season 2
Episode 201
Across the North Sea from Amsterdam and with only 900 residents, the island of Schiermonnikoog is the least densely populated municipality in the Netherlands. There is one supermarket, one bakery, and an unblemished beach stretching for miles where the Frisian Islanders come to commune with nature and each other.
