Ostend

Ostend is best known in Belgium for its North Sea beach resort and seafront promenade. Broad sandy beaches, the seawall and the harbour give this Flemish city a distinctly maritime character, while fishing vessels, ferries and leisure boats use its port. Ostend is closely associated with the painter James Ensor, who lived and worked here; his former home on Vlaanderenstraat is now the Ensor House. Fort Napoleon, standing in dunes east of the centre, recalls the city’s strategic position on the coast. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of the Belgian coast.
