Belgian Coast Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

A view of the windswept Belgian coastline near Oostende, on a stormy day in the winter.

The fanciest sea-town of Belgium is without a doubt Knokke-Heist. There are plenty of art galeries and several art pieces are also found on the beach itself. The work on the picture here is of the Belgian artist Folon and is a statue of a sitting man. While it’s not visible with high tide, I was surprised to find it almost completely buried by the sand. This might have something to do with the fact that works to add sand to the coastline were ongoing...
