Do you love birds and nature? Then you shouldn’t leave Zeebrugge before you paid a visit to Het Zwin; a gorgeous natural reserve that is abounding with (migratory) birds.

Visit with Knokke Boat in small group, the seals of the Westerschelde! A unique opportunity to admire them up close and to photograph them to your heart's content.

Japan has never been this close! You don't have to fly for hours to get there. In Ostend is the Japanese Garden Shin Kai Tei.

Escape the busy coastline and retreat to the Polders: a large nature reserve without hedges or trees.

This centuries-old meadow landscape is the place to be for hiking. The visitor centre is freely accessible and is the ideal starting point for a nice bicycle or hiking tour through the area.

The beach of Blankenberge is the ideal place for a romantic walk. You may even get the sunset for free!

Just behind the coastline, between Blankenberge and Zeebrugge, you will find the Zeebos provincial domain, a landscaped forest of 41 hectares.

Let the kids play around on the many playground equipment found here.
