Flag: Diagonally divided from hoist top to fly botomin the form of two countercharged tulips of red and white.
Nes (Frisian: Nes) had 1-1-1999 422 inhabitants. It is a cosy village and an important gardening center in northeast Friesland. 'Nes' means 'corner' or small peninsula, the northeastern point of Westdongeradeel.
The flag of Nes has the diagonal division of the CoA of former Westdongeradeel; the countercharged tulip is a reference to the
gardening in the village. White is the color of the 'ûleboerd' - 'owl-board', a triangular wooden ornament in the top of the back of a farmhouse, with small openings to permit entry for mouse-chasers. Red and white were the colors of the region of Oostergo.
