Holiday houses on the Belgian North Sea coast & holiday apartments on the Belgian North Sea coast

Vacation in a holiday home at the Belgian North Sea coast

Though less than 70 kilometres long, the Belgian coast is a popular destination for families in search of a holiday home due to its white sand beaches and collection of towns to explore. The towns that are dotted along the coast each have their own character and delights and offer a variety of holiday homes and holiday apartments.

The varied towns of the Belgian Coast

One of the most popular destinations to book a holiday home is the town of De Panne, filled with shops, winding little backstreets, and holiday apartments that line the beach looking out over the North Sea. The nearby town of Koksijde is a quieter destination for holiday rentals with a selection of detached holiday houses. Further up the coast is Nieuwpoort, an old fishing town celebrated for its selection of seafood restaurants. Nieuwpoort is a popular destination for those looking to rent modern holiday apartments and harbour a penchant for moules frites and other fruits de mer.

Activities on and around the North Sea Coast

For families looking for holiday rentals, the Belgian coast offers an array of activities to get involved in. In the summer, the beaches are ideal for lounging about on and - for the more active - playing ball games and surfing. Reassuring parents, lifeguards diligently watch over bathers on the bigger beaches. Off the sand, holiday-makers can sail, fish and go biking. For those on vacation in a holiday home in the cooler winter months, the region offers a variety of cultural pursuits, from the heritage sites in Ostend, to the popular Sea Life Centre aquarium in Blackenberge. Bruges, Belgium’s famed city of art, is only 11 km from the coast and a perfect destination for a family day-trip.
