    I don't think this tip really needs an explanation. You're near the sea. There are a lot of seagulls swooping just overhead. You do the math (and bring a hat).

    Just outside the centre there are 2 parking lots where you can park your car for free. You can also rent a free bike.

    -Parking Maria Hendrikapark: The kappelestraat (commercial street) is only 5min away. Or take the bus, every 10min for only 0,5euro.
    -Parking MediaCenter: During summer a tram will take you the the centre every 10min, in winter every 20min.

    What I really hate when I'm on the Bredene nude beach, are the voyeurs. Sometimes it is real terrible, but there is something that works, taking pictures of them and suddenly they are gone or tell the police officers.

    At a certain moment this almost naked guy came in our direction.
    He was carrying a plate with a drink on it... so for a moment I hoped he was our waiter but he passed our table :-(

    Then I wondered if this was a new fashion defilé or if this guy has lost all his money and property at the local Casino???

    Or maybe he was about to get married... got scared, jumped out of bed and ran away!

    Euros aren't the only currency

  • Not such much a warning, but - as in Brugge, tobacconists will take English money for cigarettes and tobacco. This normally works in your favour. Don't assume you will have to pay in euros.

    Watch your ciggie and baccy limit

  • With cigarettes at £26 per sleeve and baccy at £26.40 its tempting to bring more home than the limit. Be warned, when we were coming back Customs were stopping cars/coaches on the FRENCH side - before you get on the ferry- as well as the English side. So make sure you have got all your stuff packed properly and keep all your receipts handy, just in case.
