In a nutshell
Beautiful Belgian Beaches
joanj Says: De Haan has a lovely wide beach, and once over the sand dunes at the far end of the beach, you see an incredible vista of sea and sand.The beach by the heart of the town is easily accessible down a slope (right by the ice cream seller, which is very useful on a hot day).I...
RoyJava Says: One of the highlights is the little Tram Station of De Haan, where the tourist office of De Haan is situated (you can find a tram line everywhere along Belgian coast for reaching any coast city). It was built in 1902, when the older one was removed. See the beautifully...

Brasserie Carnac: Strange feeling...
kaykay107 Says: I just came back from De Haan. I've been there together with my wife and my 3 year old daughter.We had dinner in the restaurant named 'Brasserie Carnac', located in the center of De Haan.I ordered a rib-eye steak, my wife had crab salad and my daughter had spaghetti...
chicabonita Says: If you want to go out for dinner in De Haan be aware of two things ...1. make a reservation if you fancy a special of the not to many restaurants 2. and even more import be early, the kitchen of most if not all restaurants closes at 9.30 pm!
chicabonita Says: If you would like to party all night long in clubs, bars and pubs De Haan might be the wrong place for you. The night life has not much to offer and restaurants also close early ... But by chance we saw The Voice of Europe - EDDY WALLY. It was great fun! ... is everybody...
guess where :-): sunset at the beach
chicabonita Says: The cheapest and most beautiful nightlife activity. Take some drinks and enyoy the sunset at the beach. Apart from this De Haan didn't have much to offer :-) With friends I was there in June maybe it is different during high season. I guess the one of the few bars / pubs is...
chicabonita Says: With the Kusttram you can go along the whole Belgium coast from De Panne to Knokke and back. A day ticket is EUR 5 and you can jump up and off the train as much as you want.Great, in August 2007 the day ticket is still just EUR 5!
twoifbysea Says: Oh how much fun is a ride on the trams when you are travelling with little people (by that I mean children - age 4 1/2 - not actual little people in any derogatory way!)For a €5 ticket we had freedom of the entire coast of Belgium, had we wanted to we could have travelled...
Luchonda Says: A more than tradition at the belgian coastside - fishing on shrimps - with belgian horses - not seven horses in the sky - but in the sea !(lol - hit of a famous belgian group called "The Pebbles" in the sixties- a sign to Wal - in NZ :-)) ...
Helga67 Says: It was not until the end of the 19th century that 3 rich gentlemen discovered this beautiful place with a magnificent beach and dune landscape. They decided to create a coastal town in "Belle Epoque" style. This is what makes De Haan so unique. The town was totally created...
Luchonda Says: Second warning !! No swimming when it is not allowed and "bay-watched" because the sea flow is unpredictable and dangerous - even for professional swimmers - but instead ...catch a lovely ice-cream at the belgian coast !!!BTW De Haan has no breakwaters !!!
Luchonda Says: Always watch out - the tram is coming anyway! From east to west - look out ! from Knokke just to De Panne - about 60 km of coast tram ! Many accidents happened ! The local authorities are working on it to avoid this tragics ! (roadplanning - signals)
hundertmorgen Says: Most Restaurants at the beach promenade are very expensive!!! And it could be very crowded, especially at the weekend... Restaurants in the center are normally better and less expensive. But a few Restaurant / Cafes are very nice here, too - so watch out for the nice...
RoyJava Says: The holiday-house of our friends is just located next to the remarkable dunes (see in the background on pic). It is its natural habitat with mainly pine-trees, except for its paths that have been laid out for visitors. If you do love nature explore the reserves "De Kijk-uit"...
RoyJava Says: The beach of De Haan is a large white-golden sandy beach, 2½ km/7 miles long, good for sunbathing and with good swimming (although the North Sea in this area is chilly!). Watch the beach-signs, for the North Sea can be very dangerous. Take a beach promenade walk along De...
RoyJava Says: Litereaaly DE HAAN stands for "The Rooster". That is because a nice little rooster crowed incessantly and rescued some poor, stranded fishermen. Though however ... listen to a more prosaic telling.The "Hotel Du Coq" (Het Rooster Hotel) was opened at 22nd of July 1988 and...
Beach walking and bird feeding
Luchonda Says: Just walking on the beach, feeding birds.Take the opportunity to walk on the beach in wintertime - no tourists - just yourself, your memories and the occasion to reorganize many things Good walking shoes
Luchonda Says: From "De Panne till Knokke"- a coast only 65 km - but holiday target for many british/dutch and german tourists.Ostend and Zeebrugge as Harbour - what should we have more !! De Haan as historical monument and Knokke as ...City of ..Belgian coast sporting - surfing and...
RoyJava Says: Don't mention the huge-smile-guy saying "Cheese!", when driving a Porsche Carrera! Ofcourse it is super truper great time to drive around De Haan, and entering De Haan to slow down until very slow. Is it? In De Haan it isnot allowed to drive that fast like a porsche does, so...
Luchonda Says: Just walking on the beach, relaxing atmosphere in wintertime - having a good meal and of course tasting the famous belgian beer.A cappuchino and cafe, a waffle with cream in one of the rare restaurants still open in this low season. The English style of buildings - the...
