Bruges and its attractions for beach lovers
While Bruges itself is inland and does not have a beach, the nearby coastal town of Knokke-Heist, just a short train ride away, offers stunning sandy shores and a vibrant beach culture. Families can spend a day at Knokke beach, where kids can build sandcastles while parents relax at beachfront cafes, enjoying fresh seafood and local Belgian beers. The nearby Zoute district is renowned for its upscale shopping, with boutiques offering everything from designer fashion to unique local crafts. Adventurous travelers can explore the scenic dunes and nature reserves, such as Het Zoute, with walking and cycling trails that provide picturesque views of the coastline. After a day at the beach, return to Bruges for a leisurely evening stroll through its UNESCO World Heritage-listed canals, where charming restaurants serve exquisite Flemish cuisine. For a convenient stay, consider hotels in the Bruges city center which offer easy access to both the historic attractions and transport links to the beach, ensuring a blend of cultural exploration and seaside relaxation.
