Blankenberge is a beautiful coastal town with a long sandy beach and a lovely promenade. Perfect for a relaxing walk, enjoying seafood, or just sitting by the sea. The atmosphere is vibrant, especially in summer, with many restaurants, shops, and events. The pier is iconic and offers great views. Definitely worth a visit for a fun day trip or a weekend getaway!
