What to Do in Blankenberge?
Sea, silence and architecture. Blankenberge is more than a seaside resort. It is an atmosphere, a rhythm, a way of slowing down.

Blankenberge: sea, culture and tranquillity
Blankenberge is one of Belgium's oldest seaside resorts. But those who look beyond the bustle discover a city with character: Belle Epoque architecture, a pier stretching out over the North Sea, fresh fish at the market and dunes that hold the wind.
Stay in our villa in Blankenberge and discover the city at your own pace.
Beach and sea
The beach of Blankenberge
The beach of Blankenberge stretches for kilometres. At low tide, the sea reveals a wide, flat expanse of sand that invites walking. Early in the morning, before the beach huts are rolled out, the beach is almost empty.
Sunrise over the North Sea is an experience in itself. Light breaking on wet sand, the smell of salt and seaweed, the sound of waves swelling and retreating. Slow living by the sea.
Culture and architecture
Belle époque eyecatchers
Blankenberge has more to offer than sun and sea. Take a stroll along the iconic pier and feel the North Sea surround you. Seek out the sun at the famous windscreen shelter by the marina, a beloved spot for those who want to relax away from the bustle of the beach. Step back in time at the Belle Epoque Museum, where the grandeur of a bygone era comes to life.
Pure nostalgia awaits at the velodrome on the seafront promenade, with its classic pedal bikes that have delighted generations of children and adults alike, or an unforgettable ride on the traditional bumper cart. And then there is Majutte's fisherman's cottage: an authentic piece of coastal heritage that tells the story of the people who built this town.
