    Tips

    October 3, 2025

    "Westerpunt" is a six-meter-high architectural gem on the promenade leading to France. Studio MOTO designed it as a symbolic connection between the sea, dunes, and humanity. From the top, you can enjoy a magnificent 360° view of the surroundings. At high tide, part of the structure is submerged, making it seem as if you are literally suspended "above" the sea.

      A magnificent viewpoint overlooking the southwesternmost point of Belgium.

      Westerpunt is a geometric, gentle staircase that takes you up from the promenade, towering over the beach, before descending further to the beach or the promenade below. It symbolically connects the sea with the dunes, nature with the coast, and the residents with each other.

      Its unique location next to the dunes and the Westhoek Nature Reserve makes it a real attraction. Experience breathtaking 360-degree views and discover the beautiful landscape.

        Westerpunt is a geometric, lazy staircase that takes you up from the promenade until you tower above the beach, and then takes you further down to the lower beach or the dike. It symbolically connects the sea with the dunes, nature with the coast, the residents with each other.
