What to do, where to eat and where to stay
Spend mornings walking the broad beach and afternoons exploring the nearby Zwin nature reserve, a short drive or bike ride away and a top spot for birdwatching. Locals will tell you about the sea kale that grows on the dunes in spring, and a small café on the promenade once offered a jar of local honey that had crowds talking for weeks.
Popular activities include cycling along coastal dikes, trying a guided mudflat hike at low tide and sampling seafood at beach pavilions that open right onto the sand. If you are planning an overnight stay, search out the best hotel in Cadzand-Bad to match your budget; seaside rooms often mean waking to the sound of gulls and the smell of salt air.
Practical tips: bring a windbreaker because the weather can swing quickly, and check tide times before attempting any flatland walk. Off the beaten path, take a short cross-border trip into Belgian coastal towns for a change of pace and different dining options.
