Oostduinkerke-Bad Beach

A Classic North Sea Resort

Oostduinkerke-Bad is the seaside heart of the municipality of Koksijde on the Belgian coast. This camera captures the expansive beach, the gently sloping dunes and the steady rhythm of the North Sea, a panorama that draws families and walkers to the Flemish shore.

White Beach Cabins & the Promenade

The neat ranks of white wooden beach cabins are a signature of the Belgian coast, set out across the sand beside a seaside swimming pool. The view takes in the broad esplanade where visitors stroll between the dunes and the tideline.

Heritage of the Shrimp Fishermen

Bronze statues of horseback shrimp fishermen honour Oostduinkerke's unique tradition of fishing for shrimp on horseback, a custom recognised by UNESCO and still practised on this very stretch of sand.

The Belgian Coast in View

Framed by open sky and the moving sea, the scene offers a living postcard of West Flanders, with the horizon dotted by passing ships and the wide tidal flats that define this part of the Flemish littoral.
