    Hiking

    Walk between Blankenberge and the Lighthouse on the Oosterstaketsel.
    Ideal for spotting the outgoing or incoming boats.
    On some evenings you can also enjoy a beautiful sunset from the Oosterstaketsel.

    Hiking

    The Oosterstaketsel is much more than a wooden pier: it is a piece of living coastal history. The pier was built in the 1860s as harbour infrastructure to safely guide fishing boats into the harbour channel and prevent silting.

    As early as 1872, tourists discovered this long wooden pier as the ideal place to stroll, get some fresh air, and enjoy the sea. Thus, the Oosterstaketsel was an early precursor to the much better-known Belgium Pier, which was only built in 1894 on the other side of the sea dike.
