Unwind in the timeless Belgian seaside elegance of Blankenberge, where a wide, sandy beach stretches for miles along the North Sea with gentle waves perfect for swimming, building sandcastles, or long walks, the iconic 350-meter Pier (Pier Blankenberge)—one of the oldest in Europe—extends into the sea with panoramic views from its end platform and a scenic elevator ride, and the lively Zeedijk promenade buzzes with beachfront cafés, ice-cream parlors, and the famous Sea Life Blankenberge aquarium showcasing vibrant marine life and touch pools.
Explore the charming historic center with its Art Nouveau villas, the elegant casino and Belle Époque architecture, ride the scenic coastal tram to nearby Knokke or De Haan for more beaches and dunes, or simply relax under colorful beach huts with a cold Belgian beer and fresh mussels—Blankenberge perfectly balances classic family seaside fun, nostalgic charm, and easy access to the rest of the Belgian coast.
Savor classic moules-frites, crispy Belgian waffles topped with chocolate and strawberries, fresh North Sea shrimp croquettes, and chilled Jupiler beer amid warm Flemish hospitality, salty sea air, and the unmistakable rhythm of a traditional Belgian beach town that feels like stepping into a timeless summer postcard.
Blankenberge isn’t just a beach resort—it’s the authentic Belgian coast experience of sand, sea, and seaside joy—plan your Blankenberge escape today!
