Bredene is a coastal municipality in the province of West Flanders that distinguishes itself from its neighbours through a notably residential character. Whilst Ostend lies just next door with its urban offering, Bredene has preserved its own identity as a municipality where families, retirees, and second-home buyers live side by side. The combination of its own beach - the only camping beach on the Belgian coast - and a quiet, green residential environment makes Bredene an attractive choice for those who wish to experience the coast without having to accept the bustle of a seaside resort.
