3. Blankenberge
One of Belgium’s top resort towns, Blankenberge is best known for its activity-filled promenade known as the Zeeddjik. Just 18 kilometers from Bruges, this beach can be crowded on hot days, adding to the lively atmosphere. Resorts line the waterfront, some of which have gated sections for guests, while many others offer seaside dining for the general public.
4. Zeebrugge Beach
Zebrugge’s beach sits west of the port and extends to Oostende, totaling approximately 20 kilometers long and an average of 70 meters wide at high tide. The beach has a combination of dunes and flat sand, and the more central portions can get very crowded in the summer thanks to its proximity to Bruges. Those driving to Zebrugge on a day trip from Bruges will be relieved to find plenty of free parking near the beach.
