The Neighborhood

Anyone who loves the sea should visit Oostduinkerke for a weekend. The large nature reserve contains the highest dune in Belgium, the Hoge Blekker (33 meters) and is ideal for anyone who wants to walk. Oostduinkerke is a quiet coastal town on the Belgian coast in the middle of 97 hectares of dunes. The West Coast area has 130 kilometers of footpaths, a third of which are unpaved. This beautiful dune area is a protected nature reserve. Oostduinkerke is one of the best destinations on the Belgian coast, because of its extensive protected nature reserve and cultural activities. The sandy beach of Oostduinkerke is almost a kilometer wide at low tide and it stretches all the way to Dunkirk in France. A nice place to enjoy the sun, build sandcastles or explore the beach.< The beach is ideal for para-karting and sand yachting due to its length (30 kilometers to Dunkirk), slope and absence of beach entrances. Oostduinkerke was a fishing village. Today most residents work for the hotels, camping or restaurants. This can be inferred from the many villas and huge apartments available to guests. A weekend to Oostduinkerke is a must for anyone who loves the sea. Despite the recent increase in tourist numbers, Oostduinkerke is still characterized by its wide dunes and there is a lot of space to enjoy nature. Enthusiasts can therefore fully enjoy the specific flora and fauna that belong to the dune landscape. Highlights: Oostduinkerke and shrimp go hand in hand. This is the only coastal town in the world where shrimps are still caught with the help of horses. An activity that entertains many people. Horse fisherman's beach. Catching shrimp with the help of horses is no longer profitable, but in terms of tourism and folklore it is certainly a tradition that should be continued. The shrimp festival takes place in the last week of June. The shrimp parade is held in the streets of Oostduinkerke, led by Mieke Prawn and her ladies. The history of Flemish fisheries can be viewed in the Oostduinkerke National Fisheries Museum. Here you can find ancient landscapes, including a fisherman's house and bar. You can also visit the OD1 Martha, a fishing boat off the coast and you can explore the sea world in various North Sea aquariums. In addition to shrimps, Oostduinkerke has more features that make it a great holiday destination, such as a cozy village where folklore is an important concept and perfect facilities for sports and relaxation.
