Bask in the endless golden expanse of De Panne, Belgium’s widest and most family-friendly beach resort, where a massive 11-km stretch of fine white sand and shallow North Sea waters creates the perfect playground for kite-surfing, sandcastle building, beach volleyball, and long walks along the tide line—framed by the protected Westhoek Nature Reserve with its rolling dunes, rare dune flora, and peaceful hiking paths that feel like a mini-Sahara by the sea. Explore the lively seafront promenade with its colorful beach huts, ice-cream stands, and the famous Plopsaland De Panne theme park (perfect for kids with Studio 100 characters), or simply relax in the laid-back atmosphere of a classic Belgian coastal town that blends wide-open beach freedom, fresh North Sea seafood, and the warm, welcoming hospitality of Flanders just 30 minutes from Ostend and 1 hour from Bruges.
Savor fresh Belgian frites with mayonnaise, juicy mussels in white wine, sweet waffles topped with chocolate, and chilled Jupiler beer amid endless sand, dune breezes, and the unmistakable sense of a place where the North Sea meets pure family seaside joy.
De Panne isn’t just a destination—it’s Belgium’s widest and most family-perfect coastal escape of dunes, beaches, and timeless North Sea charm—plan your De Panne adventure today!
