The Flemish Coast, is something of a secret: along 67km of pristine coastline stand 14 resorts, each with its own distinct style and character. This means you need never be bored simply, stay in the resort that appeals and then take the tram that runs the length of the coast for a change of scene, should the mood take you.

While De Panne is famous for its sand-sailing, Koksijde is cultural and Knokke-Heist is very chichi; Ostend is a cosmopolitan city on the sea, while De Haan is a good old-fashioned beach resort. Take your pick - the choice is yours.
