Listen to the murmur of the waves and the cries of the seagulls, while the sunset casts a magical glint across the water. Feel how the mischievous breeze plays with your hair and taste the saltiness of the sea air upon your lips. The rhythm of nature beats here, in the surf, in the wealth of seashells washing on to the beach and in the swaying of the marram grass in the sand dunes.
In Oostduinkerke nature plays the leading role. Wandering contentedly along the broad beach, making sand castles with your children, or admiring the catch of the shrimp fishermen on horseback. Here you can feast on a tasty pot of mussels or on a platter of the fresh daily catch of seafood in one of the restaurants or cafés along the beach promenade.
But Oostduinkerke is much more than just beach, sea and sand-dunes. The polders lie nearby. Rent a bicycle at the entrance to your holiday park and explore the countryside. Plan a route to one of the little towns in the Westhoek, where you can sit on a terrace and enjoy a tasty local beer. Or go and explore the coast along the new, safe cycle paths. The neighbouring resort of Nieuwpoort is certainly worth a visit. There, you can stroll through the lively marina, around the interesting shops and along the characteristic pier that reaches far out into the sea.
And…the pixie Plop lives in the neighbourhood. Take your children on a visit to Plopsaland to meet him. Fun guaranteed!
