The beach is clean and like everything in Ostend, it is designed to make your visit enjoyable. For people with kids, there are markers every 100 feet or so with different shapes (like a smiley face or an airplane) so it's easy not to forget your place on the beach. Snacks, drinks and beer are available on the promenade which runs for miles along the beach. And during the summer, the town erects bars and restaurants right on the beach! It is so nice to sit and have a snack under a palm tree! The sunsets are incredible and the people are very friendly and helpful. Everyone goes out of their way to make sure everyone else is having a good time. The train station is maybe a ten minute walk from the beach. There are so many places to stay and with everything there is to see and do in Ostend and the surrounding area, it makes sense to stay a while! There is everything from a great hostel to apartments for rent and every level of hotel in between. Take the world's longest coastal tram up and down the entire length of the country in under 3 hours star to finish - but stop along the way and explore the dozen or so towns along the way. The food in Ostend is excellent - ranging from food stands to rated restaurants. Enjoy this amazing seaside town and you will fall in love with the beach and the town!
