1. Zeebrugge
Zeebrugge is a popular resort at the western end of the Belgian coast, about 19 kilometers north of Brugeswhich. It’s also of interest to travelers visiting Belgium primarily for its First World War history. This port was an important German U-boat base during the war and was at the center of the action on St. George’s Day in 1918 when the base was destroyed in a spectacular military assault. The memorial for this event is at the landward end of the breakwater.
2. Ostend Harbor and Beachfront
Ostend (in Flemish Oostende) may be the most important ferry harbor in Belgium and the main port for ferry traffic to Great Britain, but it’s also one of the most popular seaside resorts in Europe, with a history as a major spa destination since the 1930s. During summer, the five beaches here are crowded with local holidaymakers.
