Where the sea brings you peace
The Belgian coast invites you to slow down for a while. Amid wide beaches, lively harbors, and charming seaside towns, you can enjoy the sea air and the view of the water. Here, maritime traditions, culture, and delicious food go hand in hand.
Whether you choose to stay in Nieuwpoort, Ostend, or another coastal town, in 48 hours you’ll find time for new discoveries and moments of relaxation, all at your own pace.
In Nieuwpoort, the sea and fishing life are never far away. The harbor provides a lively backdrop of boats, seagulls, and people working to the rhythm of the water. The historic city center and the seawall of Nieuwpoort-Bad each give the city its own unique atmosphere, with cozy spots to explore and sample local flavors.
Nieuwpoort is also synonymous with the story of the gray North Sea shrimp. Behind this small delicacy lies the craftsmanship of fishermen and the tradition of shrimp peeling. It’s a story you’ll also discover at the table: in a crispy shrimp croquette, a tomato topped with fresh shrimp, or simply with a serving of freshly peeled shrimp. That’s how the city’s maritime character comes to life on your plate.
Ostend brings city life and the sea together. Along the seawall, you can enjoy the beach and the horizon, while the streets behind it invite you to shop, explore culture, or enjoy a leisurely meal. The harbor adds the bustling energy of a true coastal city.
At the James Ensor House, you’ll be introduced to the world of this artist, who is closely connected to Ostend. The city’s distinctive buildings and the Venetian Galleries also give it a unique character. A visit to Ostend can easily be combined with a quiet moment on a terrace, with the sea breeze and the sound of the waves nearby.
Every coastal town has its own character. From charming shopping streets and lively outdoor cafes to quiet spots with ocean views: you choose what suits your stay best. A visit to a museum, a delicious lunch, or a stroll along the seawall means your time at the coast is always a new experience.
Even without a packed schedule, there’s plenty to do. Watch the boats, sample the local cuisine, or enjoy the changing light over the water. Choose activities and moments of relaxation based on your interests and what works for you. That way, a short vacation by the sea becomes, above all, a time to enjoy together.
The Belgian coast never ceases to surprise, even if you’ve been there many times before.
