Tips from the Community
The kitesurfing school is beautifully located, but I don't know if you're even allowed to surf in that area of the city beach.

In this area, the sea is very close to the row of parks behind it and kitesurfing is permitted.

Centuries ago, one of the two mills of Ten Duinen Abbey stood here, and today stands the South Abbey Mill. The current South Abbey Mill of Koksijde dates from 1773 and originally stood in Houtem near Veurne (the Lootvoet mill). It was demolished there in 1951-1952 and rebuilt in Koksijde in 1953. Miller Patrick Geryl remains the only remaining full-time miller in Belgium. Anyone who visits the mill will be captivated by his every word: he'll happily give you a tour of his habitat: the South Abbey Mill. Feel the wind play with the mill, see how the grain is ground into flour, and smell the history. Highly recommended! Practical information: Individuals can visit the South Abbey Mill during regular opening hours from April to September. €2 for an adult, €1 for minors. Mill address: Jaak Van Buggenhoutlaan 120 (near the Abbey Museum). Intrigued? Click through to https://www.tenduinen.be/nl/beklim-de-zuid-abdijmolen

A Touch of Fantasy Malo-les-Bains is a lively seaside resort where Belle Époque villas exude a touch of fantasy. Book a small hotel just steps from the beach, lay your towel on the golden sand, and enjoy the lively atmosphere.
