Koksijde

Koksijde combines broad North Sea beaches with a dune-bound, low-rise character that reflects its position on Belgium’s Flemish coast. The shore gives way to protected dune terrain, including the Hoge Blekker reserve, where sand and marram grass set a distinctly coastal rhythm. At the Ten Duinen Abbey Museum and archaeological site, the remains of a medieval Cistercian abbey recall the community that once shaped this stretch of coast. Oostduinkerke, within the municipality, is known for horseback shrimp fishing, a tradition inscribed on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
