De Panne
De Panne, which borders France, is the westernmost point
in Belgium.
Enjoy the immeasurable dune landscapes with their surprising
sceneries
Where the North Sea, the dunes and the polders meet,
lies this green pearl of the Flemish coast. Enjoy the immeasurable expanses
of the dunes with their surprising scenery, wander undisturbed through
one of the unspoilt nature reserves, take an early beachwalk, with an eye
on the far horizon or ramble along signposted paths through our nature
reserves, discovering one thing after another. These are all treasures
that make your holiday in De Panne an undeniable success.
The greatest gift of De Panne is a present from the sea:
its beach ! The widest on the Flemish Coast ! A golden yellow paradise
! Every age finds there the perfect holiday. Children can romp about to
their hearts' content. Sun-bathers can sink peacefully into blessed thoughts.
Active sport lovers can - without being sworn at ! - play ball as much
as they like.
The beach is without a single break-water. It is therefore
no coincidence that the first sand yacht was built here (in 1898). Created
by the Dumont brothers it was the beginning of a fascinating sport of which
De Panne became the model. Driven by the sea-breeze these sailing cars
swoop at extraordinary speed along the edge of the waves.
De Panne is home to Plopsaland, a themepark aimed at young children and
located at the former Meli-Park.
Since the foundation of the park in 2000, the figures
of the popular Flemish and Dutch figures of Studio 100 can be found here.
All the attractions have a theme from one of the soaps or musicbands of
the group. Attractions include Kabouter Plop, Samson en Gert, Big &
Betsy, Piet Piraat, Wizzy & Woppy, Het Huis Anubis.
