Sunparks Oostduinkerke aan Zee

Sunparks Oostduinkerke aan Zee enjoys a prime position on the western part of Belgium’s sandy coastline, just a short drive from the French ferry ports and the famous Plopsaland toddler friendly theme park by De Panne.

This is a fairly large holiday park centred around a small lake which is nice to stroll around and stop off at the little play areas dotted about. Around a 20 minutes walk (1.5km) to the wide, sandy beach, the seafront promenade with its places to eat and drink and the coastal tram stops, you are ideally positioned to enjoy the best of what the Belgian coast has to offer. The different resorts on the Belgian coast are all linked together by the coastal tram and so you can visit almost everywhere without needing a car. Stroll into Nieuwpoort beach resort and try out fishing on the long fishing pier while watching the boats come in or sample some of the European markets which set up shop during the summer.

Back on the holiday park your little ones will be able to splash away to their hearts’ content in the large subtropical indoor pool with baby and toddler pool and little slides and fountains. There is plenty of  seating space around the pool as well as a pool side snack bar so there is no need to leave for lunch if you’re having too much fun! The main pool is gently shelving so young children will enjoy splashing at the shore line and letting the waves tickle their feet. There is also a small outdoor pool area if you fancy a change of scene as well as a separate wellness centre where you can enjoy a pamper or two! There is a buggy parking area by the pool too which is handy if you’re walking from the other side of the park.

As well as having a large indoor pool area the holiday park also has a fantastic 500m2 indoor play area which has a separate area for under 4s and seating where parents can have a drink and keep an eye on their little ones at play! The park also organises children’s entertainment and mini discos.

Outdoors there is a main central play area as well as several small play areas dotted about the park. It is a car free zone which means added safety with little ones running around.

There is a good selection of places to eat in the central dome area as well as in the local resort. Or take advantage of the well-stocked shop and enjoy a BBQ! Half board options are also available in the park restaurants.

This is a region made for cycling with a fantastic cycle network. Make the most of it by renting bikes from the park and get out exploring!
