It may be just 67km long, but the Belgian coastline is home to more than 20 individual resorts. To outsiders, those seaside resorts are mostly made up of chaotic and ugly concrete buildings. Yet despite the unattractive architecture and apparent lack of nature, millions of people visit each year.
Some coastal towns along the Belgian coast appear to have been designed on the back of an envelope in the bar after a Blind Architects’ Conference. Others seem to be governed by a Mayor with shares in a cement factory. Thankfully however, there are places along the Belgian coast that qualify as quaint, stylish and interesting. But you have to look for them.
After a period of stasis, Belgium’s seaside region is fast regaining popularity among local, French and Dutch tourists as an ‘it’ destination. The 65km-long coastline is fronted by wide white-sand beaches, backed by dunes and dotted every few kilometres with resort towns.
