Travel Tips for Belgium Sports

1. Niels's Tip on Oostduinkerke
Oostduinkerke, West-Vlaanderen Region, Belgium
Oostduinkerke is the only town in the entire world where they still fish for shrimp with a horse. You can still visit the Horse-fishermen on the Oostduinkerke Beach.

5. Sarah's Tip on Oostende
Oostende, West-Vlaanderen Region, Belgium
Ostend is one of the cities you must really visit if you visit the belgian coast. The restaurants are very cosy and there are always special fish menu's. The fish is nice and fresh so enjoy it. If the weather is bad, and that can happen in Belgium, you can always visit seaparks and art galleries.
