Would you care to promenade with me?
KShezz Says: The Pier at Blankenberge is quite a long one at 350 meters to promenade up and down and after you have promenaded to the end joy oh joy there is a cafe with plenty of seating and a toilet there...You get a good view of the beach ansd sea in both directions from down there...
KShezz Says: The sepentarium is not for the squeamish..there are an amazing array of spiders and snakes and lizards and all manner of the creepy and the crawly...we enjoyed it although we understood that msot of the creatures there would not be there except for the stupidity of people...
KShezz Says: We do love aquariums and the underwater world ...on the other hand we always end up feeling just a little bit sad that these wonderful creatures are behind glass to be viewed...With over 50 aquariums and 2500 thinghs to see it is a worthwhile day out.I would advise tickets...
pieter_jan_v Says: The Pier is great for a walk and a stopover at the very end.The Blankenberge Pier has a long history. It was inspired by the many British Piers along the UK coast. After 6 years of negotiations and re-designs engineer Casse, architect E. Hellemans and contractor Monnoyer got...
LarsLous Says: A very nice place to visit. You may see many fishes and other sea animals. I even could caress a shark. Nice. And the animals are kept good and correct, they have even a seal clinic and an elevation of hyppocampuses.Great place to spend an afternoon. (Even if it cannot be...
Sjalen Says: Much like the other SeaLife centres in Britain, the Netherlands etc. I haven't got a photo from it, but trust me, it's worth a visit, especially if you've got children (as there is also a nice playground). There are aquariums and an outdoor bit with otters and seals and you...
The Beach, the beach, the beach
sourbugger Says: This is bucket and spade country. The town has all the charm of a Mancunian housing estate but the gently sloping beach is a haven for families. The sand dunes are great as you can set up base camp and keep an eye on the kids for all of the half mile or so to where the...

bonio Says: Part of the Franky hotel, menu offering a favourite of mine, stoofvlees (beef cooked in beer), enticed us inside. Large and comfortable restaurant, lots of local specialities on offer, Mrs Bonio didn't find too many vegetarian choices but she managed!Everything very tasty,...
bonio Says: Recommended as somewhere likely to have vegetarian choices, and so they did, Mrs Bonio very happy.Interesting menu to choose from and all food very tasty, comfortable and friendly restaurant, enjoyed our evening here.
DarthNuno Says: Don't miss the biggest arcade room from the Belgian coast... don't remember the name, but it's located near the beach, somewhere in the middle...There you'll find the rare Galaxian3 theater game from namco... When I was there ( may 2004 ), only one of the two giant screen...
bonio Says: Running from De Panne, close to the French border, all the way to Knokke almost on the Netherands border. There is a regular service throughout the day, up to 4 trams an hour.Enjoyed travelling on this tram as it pretty much follows the coastline. We bought a day ticket (5...
Kettleman Says: From anywhere along the coast from De Panne in the west and Knokke in the east, get the tram. It's a long ride between the two places but if you are on vacation you can hop on and off all day! Blankenberge is on the route!
Helpfulness
The shop is located at the seafront, quite small but they have many choices of souvenirs inside and toys/games for the kids to play at the beach.
What to buy: Some beach games, postcards and some little souvenirs from Blankenberge.
What to pay: A few euros!

MSC Class Coastal Minesweeper
Adjutant Class Motor Minesweeper that was laid down as AMS-170 by the Consolidated Shipbuilding Corp., New York, transferred to Belgium and named Blankenberge (M 923) in May 1954. The ship was returned to US Navy custody in February 1955 when it was reclassified as a Coastal Minesweeper, MSC-170. In September 1969 the ship was transferred to Greece and renamed Thalia (M 210), she was decommissioned in 2004 and scrapped in March 2012 at Piraeus, Greece.

kylian74 Says: Sometimes in the summer, if the temperature rise to more than 25 degrees celcius, expect the crowd! it is advisable as early as possible to take advance hotel booking, otherwise you won't find anything. restaurants along seaside are mostly full during meal time, better wait...
Miscellaneous: As the title suggests, a rundown on most of the beers brewed in Belgium, and some good places to try them. A great help when confronted by a beer menu with up to 300 different beers! It's by Tim Webb and published by CAMRA in the UK.
Led us to Cafe Luxembourg, on Zeedijk, comfortable with a good choice of beers, and then Den Brasseur on Leopoldstraat with an equally impressive beer menu and tasty snacks.
