Zeebrugge

The landscape around Zeebrugge is a flat North Sea coast of dunes and reclaimed land, which has shaped both the settlement’s layout and its maritime economy. This seaside district of Bruges is dominated by the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, a working complex of docks, locks and terminals rather than a resort waterfront. Fishing remains part of local life, and Zeebrugge’s fish auction is an important Belgian seafood market. The harbour was also the scene of the Zeebrugge Raid in 1918, a First World War naval operation commemorated locally. Beaches and the broad sea dyke provide direct access to Belgium’s short coastline, while Bruges lies inland.
