Towns and villages

Is it a day without beach weather or do you just feel like going out from Kustpark Strand Westende? You can, because there is plenty to do and see in the vicinity of Kustpark Strand Westende.

Tourist attractions on the Belgian coast which should not be missed are of course Bruges, Ostend and De Panne. Nieuwpoort and Middelkerke (known for its sand sculptures) are also close by and deserve a visit.

Brugge

at 40 minutes

Bruges is known for its art history and culture. This city is West Flanders' main tourist attraction. Especially under the Burgundian dukes, the city experienced an unprecedented boom. Bruges gained new fame as a city of art through Georges Rodenbach's novel Brugges la morte.

Oostende

a 25-minute drive away

Well-known hotspots in this seaside resort are the Atlantic Wall Raversyde, the Sailboat Mercator and Leopold Park. Did you know you can easily travel here with the coastal tram? Walk through the centre of Ostend to the beautiful Saint Peter and Paul church or discover the art treasures in the basement of Mu.ZEE.

Nieuwpoort

Nieuwpoort originated as a port in 1163 and for centuries was Belgium's main fishing port for its herring catch. Now the town possesses the largest marina in northern Europe. The famous lock complex 'De Ganzepoot' played an important role during the First World War. Take a walk from Nieuwpoort-City to Nieuwpoort-Bad.

Westende

a 10-minute walk away

Westende is particularly popular with tourists and one of the finest seaside resorts on the Belgian coast! This beautiful place for the whole family offers a wide and fine sandy beach as well as a varied entertainment programme for young and old. Whatever the length of your stay, a trip to Westende is highly recommended for young and old alike.

Veurne

a 20-minute drive away

The town is characterised by many old landmarks such as the Veurne Belfry, which has been inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List since 1999. In addition, the World War 1 museum in the Town and Country House is well worth a visit. Those who prefer to stay outdoors can escape the hustle and bustle of the city in the Sint-Walburga Park or the Vauban Park.
