Welcome to the website of De Panne the green seaside of the Belgian coast
De Panne, well-known for its wide nature reserves and the widest beach of the Flemish Coast, welcomes you on it's website.
Thanks to the late flowering of De Panne, our green seaside resort has always been a cozy and friendly bathing resort. One of the chief attractions of De Panne is just its extraordinary natural richness. Such harmony of sea, beach and dune can be found nowhere so pronounced as in this extreme western corner.
A large part of De Panne's present fame as a holiday center depends on its hotels, real estate agencies, camping sites, holiday villages and restaurants. They ensure a friendly welcome and unforgettably tasty memories. Local dishes and the specialties of local cooks are worth a special trip to De Panne.
De Panne plays an important part in social tourism as a modern holiday resort : camp sites on the beach provide an unique experience of the romance between sea and dunes, while campers are welcome too in the country-side. If you prefer a holiday village in the vast Flemish polder-landscape, you will certainly find something here to suit your taste and your pocket. There is room for everybody.
Or what about a holiday in your own bungalow or studio, amidst private dunes ... and guaranteed privacy. When you talk about De Panne, you think op Plopsaland. This hospitable amusement park is undoubtedly the most child-friendly in Belgium.
The greatest gift of De Panne is a present from the sea : its beach ! The widest on the Flemish Coast ! A golden yellow paradise ! Every age finds there the perfect holiday. Children can romp about to their hearts' content. Sun-bathers can sink peacefully into blessed thoughts. Active sport lovers can - without being sworn at ! - play ball as much as they like.
The beach is without a single break-water. It is therefore no coincidence that the first sand yacht was built here (in 1898). Created by the Dumont brothers it was the beginning of a fascinating sport of which De Panne became the model. Driven by the sea-breeze these sailing cars swoop at extraordinary speed along the edge of the waves.
De Panne encourages its pleasures by an almost non-stop program of attractions during the season. Folkloristic exhibitions, elegance contest for coaches, band and jazz concerts, processions and fireworks provide something for everyone.
In this website you will found all accommodation, sport possibilities, events, gastronomic features, and much, much more.
We wish you a lot of fun during this surf - session and we hope to meet you in our green seaside resort.
