Oostduinkerke is a popular seaside resort in the Belgian province of West-Flanders. The name Oostduinkerke can be translated as 'East of Dunkirk'. The French border and Dunkirk are only a few miles away.
Oostduinkerke lies amidst a vast dune area (approximately 240 ha), which is now a protected nature reserve. It is part of Koksijde, which also includes St-Idesbald and Wulpen. Together they count 20.000 inhabitants.
To go for walks in the nature reserves (701 ha) or on the beach (8 km) or on the promenade (3,6 km) is an unusual experience. There is a vast sandy beach, stretching from 250 to 700m at ebb-tide.
Oostduinkerke is known for its shrimpers on horseback, a considerable tourist attraction. It is the only town in the world where you can see such shrimpers. There is also a well-known National Fishery Museum, showing among other things models of fishing boats from 800 AD up to the present. The British Military Cemetery (1940-1945) bears witness to British sacrifices in the Battle of Dunkirk.
Close by, in St-Idesbald, you can find the Paul Delvaux museum, showing a large collection of this Belgian painter of international fame.
