Things to do; Belgian Beaches - De Hanne

 

Belgium has an enormous and amazing coast line. The vast beaches are beautiful sandy and clean. We love the beaches around De Hann (which are only 1.5 hrs away) particularly the quieter ones where the children can explore the endless sand dunes. 

 

We tied in our trip to De Hanne with a trip to Bruges, they are very close together. We booked a night in Bruges. 

 

The Centre of De Hanne has a long promenade to walk along with cafes, take away food, gifts and ice cream. There is a small park on the beach also by the promenade. Being the central resort naturally it is busier than other more quieter parts of the beach.

Dogs; Check notice boards / signs especially in the summer season. If it is a quieter beach and out of season you may be able to let them off. Be sensible and considerate.

Buggy friendly; Beach not really. In De Hanne centre along the promenade you can easily walk with a buggy.

 

Places to park; You can find on street free car parking around the centre of DeHanne.

If you want to get further away from the centre here are some suggestions to park. We used both of these. Parking is free. https://goo.gl/maps/bj9jSynt2YW8Z5y8A

 

This parking spot is near a play park in the woods. From here we followed the path to the sea which took about 4 minutes walk. (We did have to cross a busy road and tramline.) https://goo.gl/maps/PjUcadsqL86eYZZx5

 

Top tip, the beaches are huge that even on a sunny day you can find a quieter spot away from crowds.
