Trip to the North Sea

Trip to the North Sea in Ostend took place during the warmest time of summer, because the velvet season on the North Sea coast is very short. The world-famous seaside resort Ostend is located in Belgium on the North Sea coast. At the same time, it is the largest seaport in the country. Ostend has been called the «Queen of the Belgian Coast» since the 19th century, because it was a favorite vacation spot for representatives of high society — the ruling monarchs, aristocrats of Belgium and Germany.

Ostend is located in West Flanders, northwest of Brussels. It is located on a sandy plain off the North Sea coast. The light golden sands of the beaches occupy an area of ​​15 km along the coast and 300 m in width.
Clean sea air, due to the increased content of oxygen and ozone, has healing properties. The climate is temperate with warm summers and mild winters. The beach season lasts from June to September, but the water in the sea does not warm up enough for swimming even in summer.
