The Neighborhood:
Zeebrugge is a Belgian port and seaside resort. It's linked to the city of Bruges by the Baudouin Canal.

Zeebrugge is more or less the outsider in the Belgian coastal cities. International harbour, family-friendly spa town and the fishing capital; this is Zeebrugge in a nutshell. Zeebrugge, which is connected to its historic mother city of Bruges by means of the Boudewijn Canal, is a port and spa town. The limited range of sights and entertainment is generously offset by the excellent location. The beach is not only attractive in summer, you can take beautiful beach walks all year round. Especially when the wind blows hard, the waves and the sea form a fascinating spectacle. Zeebrugge is only a few kilometers from the cosmopolitan city of Knokke and the picturesque Lissewege.

In Zeebrugge, the fishing capital of Belgium, everyone can enjoy maritime life. It is no coincidence that the fish market and the countless seafood restaurants have a legendary reputation, even far beyond the region. If you like saltwater fish, you will love Zeebrugge. It's all about sailing, fishing and great food.

Furthermore, the city is well known as an international seaport. A stay here is well worth it. As the largest fishing port in Belgium, Zeebrugge has many typical fish shops. In addition to a passenger terminal with many ferry services to England, Zeebrugge also has a marina for up to a hundred yachts.

Zeebrugge also has an infinitely wide sandy beach, a man-sized dike and a train that stops next to that beach. This spa town is only occasionally crowded and you will often find a spot on the beach with ease. It is officially the largest beach on the Belgian coast and the only coastal town with free parking in the entire city. The reason for coming to Zeebrugge is therefore to enjoy a beach that is still as it should be, pure and clean. Everyone will find their place on this expansive beach.

Zeebrugge is connected to the monumental mother city of Bruges by means of a 12 kilometer long canal. You can enjoy cycling in this area. A coastal town with a vision that is mainly focused on the future. Zeebrugge is unique because of the harmonious combination of an extensive child-friendly beach and a world port. Work is currently underway on an international seaport in Zeebrugge, which will extend far into the North Sea. However, this does not harm the beach tourists who mainly opt for the family beach. Tourists are very welcome in the many hotels and bars on the beach promenade.

There is a friendly and informal holiday atmosphere along the Zeedijk and the most delicious fish dishes feature prominently on the menu in the countless restaurants. As a port for passenger transport, Zeebrugge offers all the facilities for the various ferry services between mainland Europe and Great Britain, as well as for the many luxury cruise ships that often dock. A well-equipped marina is home to up to 100 yachts.

For those who are curious about what it is like to work at the international seaport or fish market, this question can be answered by Seafront, the maritime amusement park at the former fish market of Zeebrugge. You will hear old fishermen's stories about life on a ship, see the bustle of a fish market and experience the limited life of an anonymous sailor aboard a very narrow Russian submarine.

Suggestions:
Visit the seaside resorts of Ostend, Blankenberge or historic Bruges with many sights.
Discover the coast via one of the many beautiful cycling, walking, horse riding and rollerblading trips.
Getting a breath of fresh air during a long walk on the beach is the way to completely unwind.
The Dutch Zeeuws-Vlaanderen is close by and worth a visit.
The old fish market in the marina houses Seafront, a theme park focusing on the local seafaring and fishing heritage with exhibits that include a Russian submarine. The For Freedom Museum evokes the area’s WWII history through dioramas.
West along the coast are the De Fonteintjes wetland and dunes.
