The widest North Sea beach
The Hotel Continental in De Panne, our country's southernmost seaside resort, is located near white sandy beaches without breakwaters, in the heart of the well-preserved architectural gem of the Dumont neighbourhood with its mixture of eclectic Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Cottage-style buildings.
The widest beach and most extensive stretch of dunes on the Belgian coast can rightly be labelled the safest playground in Europe. Not surprisingly, De Panne has become the home of Plopsaland. By the way, did you know that beachcar sailing was invented in De Panne and that professionals can reach speeds of up to 125 km/h with their sailing cars there... and that in De Panne you can also visit the National Fisheries Museum, an Abbey Museum and the Paul Delvaux Museum?
