Queen of the Belgian Coast
You've got to love Ostend (Oostende in Flemish) - Queen of the Belgian Coast with its surprisingly wide sandy beach, seaside promenade and tea rooms and bars with glassed-in terraces. It is Belgium's most popular beach resort and has its own special charm with its colourful sea front and yacht-filled marina. Our 2-night taster break is perfect to experience the lively harbour, sandy beaches, well-kept parks, stylish pedestrianised shopping area and outstanding dining.

INCLUDED EXCURSION
Blankenberge
Blankenberge began life as a fishing village, but with its fine sands, impressive pier and Art Deco architecture, it's no surprise that it has developed into one of Belgium's most stylish seaside resorts. Stroll the Zeedijk (seafront) or succumb to the temptation of unique boutique shopping, cafés and restaurants.
Return to Ostend for an afternoon at leisure to explore or relax. Ostend really is a weekend destination in its own right with its excellent shopping, dining and museums such as the Mu.ZEE (museum of Belgian Art), Museum Amandine (once an Icelandic fishing boat) and the Atlantic Wall Open Air museum, located out of town. Bed and Breakfast
DAY 3 - Today you head back to Calais after a relaxed breakfast. Time permitting, a stop will be made at a local hypermarket before embarking the ferry for the return Channel crossing and then the journey home.
