Cycling in and around Middelkerke

Middelkerke sits right in the middle of the Belgian coast, and its long promenade and flat hinterland make it an easy place to explore by bike.

• Dunes between the resorts: the Warande Dunes form a narrow green strip between Middelkerke and Westende that you pass along the coast.
• Bikes on the promenade: the bike hire shops on the promenade rent out bikes by the hour or for a whole day.
• Coast and polder: the cycling routes alternate sea breezes with the quiet countryside.
• Nature along the way: the nature reserves are spread out between Ostend and the mouth of the IJzer.

Bicycle hire

Middelkerke has 4 bike hire shops, most of them on the Zeedijk.

• By the casino: De Jonghe-Rommel is on the Zeedijk, a stone's throw from Casino SILT.
• Further along the promenade: Dinaro/Vandewalle, Coast Bikes and Nordic also have their rental points on the Zeedijk.
• Busy on sunny days: on summer days the bikes go quickly, so it is best to reserve your rental bike in advance.
