Travel Tips

When the summer heat turns oppressive in Brussels and other inland cities, do as the Belgians do: head for the coast of Flanders and take a dip in the North Sea.

Smooth sandy beaches run for nearly 42 miles (67 km) between De Panne and Knokke, with a width of up to half a kilometer at low tide. In several resorts, you'll also find massive sand dunes and nature preserves--while in others, you can visit casinos, spend hours in fashionable shops, explore museums and aquariums, fish, ride horseback, windsurf, learn the sport of "sand yachting," or take the kids to amusement parks and other family attractions.

Blankenberge, with its classic pier (built in 1933) and a Sea Life Center where visitors view more than 70 types of fish from an underwater tunnel.

De Haan, a 19th Century gem of a town bordered by forested dunes and equipped with marked paths for walkers, bikers, and horseback riders.

De Panne, which claims a third of the dunes on the Flanders Coast and has four nature preserves plus the Plopsaland theme park (formerly Meli Park) in the neighborhood.

Knokke, where wealthy Belgians come for sun, fun, and shopping. (At Heist next door, the emphasis is on family relaxation.)

Oostende (Ostend), a thousand-year-old city with marinas, an old fishing port, a casino, a lively downtown, and high-speed ferry connections to England.

Zeebrugge, Belgium's deep-water port, which is just a short hop from Bruges (Brugge), a city that's often called "the Venice of the North."

Accommodations
The 13 coastal resorts of Flanders are dotted with hotels, apartments, villas, cottages, holiday villages, campgrounds, and other accommodations. See the tourism Web sites on page 3 for more information, and contact the local tourist offices for printed literature.

Renting one of the coast's 40,000 vacation houses and apartments through a real-estate agency is worth considering if you're staying for a week or longer. During July and August, self-catering rentals are usually for two weeks or a month, and cottages or flats may be booked months in advance.

TIP: If you're visiting a seaside resort for a week or more, ask the local tourist office for the names of firms that rent beach huts ("caba帽as" in U.S. parlance). With a beach hut, you'll have your own private changing facilities and won't have to lug all your gear down to the beach every day. Source(s): http://europeforvisitors.com/europe/arti...
Other Travel Tips

i'm assuming you're asking about beach resorts unless that is you want to spend a holiday in a beech tree. in fact i've not a clue what you're asking. tally ho!
From East to West (Holland to France): Knokke - Le Zoute: very posh , exclusive and expensive resort, with all the bells and whistles; Heist aan Zee: smaller more family type and cheaper; Blankenberge: the family beach par excellence; Oostende: the oldest and most wellknown resort Pricey, Then follow a series of smaller resorts: cheap for families and at last close to the french border: De Panne with the widest beaches at low tide (2KM.) where you can hire beach sailing tricycles. Enjoy your stay.
The best coast here is Blankenberge or Ostend, nice white sand.
Best reservation early and read first reviews on the Internet.
Avoid a hotel near the station called "Hotel du Louvre"(in Blankenberge), bad food and in the room sand flea's, dangerous shower with sharp edges.When complained to tourist board they did nothing against that hotel what was actually also expensive but at that time the only hotel that was left.
This was 5 years ago in July.
