Sunparks Oostduinkerke aan Zee

2,000 square meters here you will find everything for a splashing day: a wave pool in which you imagine yourself at sea for a moment, a lazy river to enjoy bobbing and the famous Black Hole slide where light and sound effects provide an adrenaline kick. Little ones entertain themselves safely in the children's wading pool with fountains and small slides. Outside there is a heated swimming pool with a spacious sunbathing area: the ideal place to top up your colors while the kids have fun. Those who prefer to go to the beach need only walk 1.4 kilometers for a vast coastline with soft sand and clear North Sea water. Oostduinkerke beach is wide, uncluttered and ideal for families. Something a little more adventurous? Book a session at the outdoor water park in the sea, full of bouncy castles and climbing structures on the water.

Children soon flock to the colourful playgrounds or the indoor play world, Kids World, where they can climb, clamber and laugh until they drop. The Kids Club provides varied activities, from crafts to scavenger hunts, and in the mini-disco, the feet turn loose to upbeat music. Meanwhile, parents can enjoy a cappuccino at the Bubble Bar, with a view of their children at play. Fancy a game of sport? On the multi-sports field or during a game of tennis or miniature golf, the fanatic will get his money's worth. Archery, squash and badminton are also available. And for those who want to be pampered, there is the West Coast Wellness: an oasis of tranquillity with sauna, jacuzzi, massages and steam bath, surrounded by a green garden. Feeling hungry? Slide into the Grand Café for a tasty dinner or a cosy drink. Prefer a quick bite? Then the chip shop beckons with fries and snacks. You can enjoy an extensive breakfast in the Tasty buffet restaurant with freshly baked bread and local delicacie,s or get your favourites in the bakery and supermarket at the park.

Skip on the iconic Coastal Tram and hop from seaside town to seaside town, from lively Nieuwpoort to charming Koksijde. In Nieuwpoort, stroll past the fish market and sample freshly caught shrimp on the quayside. In Koksijde, admire the age-old craft of shrimp fishing on horseback – a unique experience for the whole family. Looking for adventure? Then a day at Plopsaland De Panne is definitely not to be missed. Attractions, shows and encounters with famous figures ensure unforgettable moments here. Also Bellewaerde, just a little further away, combines amusement park with zoo. Prefer to go into nature? Head into the Simli Dunes or the Hannecart Forest for a walk through the unique dune landscape, or cycle the 35 kilometer Lange Lis route through the peaceful polders. Culture lovers will enjoy the Fisheries Museum, where the rugged fishing history of this region comes to life.
