Blankenberge Travel Guide

Golden hour at the Belgian coast can be so beautiful. This time with a view on the famous Pier of Blankenberge!

The “Belgium Pier” has a rich history and is now part of the Belgian national patrimony. This unique structure - a 350-meter-long bridge in the sea - is recognized far beyond the national borders. The very first cast-iron pier dates from 1894, but was destroyed in the First World War. In 1933 a new, concrete pier was built, which underwent a thorough renovation in 2003. The Belgium Pier was the first on the Atlantic coast of the European mainland and has since then only been joined by Scheveningen (Netherlands). #Culture

At low tide you can see the entire substructure of the Belgium Pier.
