A fine sandy beach for worshipppers of the sun, for your endless walks, swimming, riding a horse, ball sports and land yachting. This gigantic beach, at low tide a quarter mile wide, guarantees abundant room for everybody.
The De Panne's sea bed descends gently without any sudden drop-offs, the surf is friendly and waves are low ... ideal for a holiday with kids.
Sail a boat on the beach. The first land yacht was built here around 1900. Created by the Dumont brothers it was the beginning of a fascinating sailing sport. Driven by the sea-breeze the cars sail at extraordinary speed on the wet sand along the water line. The European land yachting championship is held here.
