Middelkerke is a small municipality on the Belgian coast along the North Sea, only an hour and a half away from Brussels. It’s also not far from the historic French city of Dunkirk (known for the World War I battle that took place there), which is only about 20 minutes from the border of Belgium. Middelkerke is known for its historical buildings and landmarks, museums, and beaches. If taking a trip to a Belgian beachside town that is full of history is on your travel bucket list, then add Middelkerke to your Belgian itinerary. Located west of Ostend, you can make this a base as you take a day trip to explore myriads of things to do in Ostend. Of course, you’ll need a comfy accommodation to come to after a day’s adventure.
