A spüikom / drainage basin consists of basins or polders, which are connected via a lock with a seaport and were flooded at high tide in ancient times and emptied at low tide with great force. So excess sludge could be removed without dredgers from the ports.

It has a nice view, goes directly along the shore on a good bike path.

Today, the Spuikom has more of a recreational function than ever. The gigantic water surface of 80 hectares (more than 120 football fields!) invites you to sail or surf. You can also fish on the banks with a permit and it is fantastic to jog or cycle around the Spuikom. During the winter months, the northern half of the Spuikom is a resting area for water birds: cormorants, goldeneyes, little grebes, grebes and coots. In the spring, the islands in the northwestern part are used by, among other things, breeding terns. Marine scientific research is also conducted in the Spuikom. Finally, the water has been designated 'shellfish water': there are two zones that are used as 'breeding parks' for oysters.

The Ostend Spuikom was constructed from 1900, but the first experiments in 1912 immediately went wrong. The current turned out to be too strong and caused damage to the quay walls of the harbour. The Spuikom was destroyed in the First World War and was never restored afterwards.

The Spuikom in Ostend/Bredene forms the southern border of the Vuurtorenwijk.
