De Haan Beach

Highlight • Beach

De Haan is for me the most beautiful of the 15 seaside resorts on the Belgian coast, because here are just not these nasty concrete buildings and the small town exudes a historic flair.

De Haan Dune Forests

Highlight • Forest

The dune forests that run from Vosseslag to Wenduine, interrupted by the picturesque De Haan, are among the most beautiful and unique pieces of nature on the Belgian coast. You walk along pleasant, undulating footpaths through soothing dune forests and more open dune landscape. A unique biotope where exceptional fauna and flora thrive (including goat orchid, dune star and coastal grasshopper). Along the way there are various play areas (such as the long slide on the Slierberg) and places to relax or have a picnic.

De Haan aan Zee Tram Station

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

The picturesque tram station of De Haan dates from the period 1875-1914, when the first development of the Belgian coastal tram took place. The listed tram station is a beautiful example of the English-Norman half-timbering that is so typical of the Belle Epoque architecture on our coast.
Over the years, the tram station became the calling card of the seaside resort. After the station was threatened with demolition in 1977, the municipality of De Haan bought the building and repurposed it as a tourist service.
