De Lijn is investing heavily in the coastal tram. For instance, they regularly order new trams that transport you even more comfortably along our coastline.
Discover everything you need to know about the coastal tram.
The Coastal Tram is the ideal way for us to travel along the Belgian coast. It makes sense, as the nearest stop is just a 2-minute walk from our apartment.

On the Belgian coast, you can use the same De Lijn tickets as elsewhere in Flanders. So feel free to bring your Lijnkaart or Buzzypass to the coast.
One ride costs 3 euros. For ten rides, you pay 22 euros.

You can also use a day pass to discover the coast carefree. With a day pass, you can travel unlimitedly on the Coastal Tram for one or more days, alone or together. An adult pays 9 euros per day. A day pass for a child under 12 costs 4,5 euros.
For trips to the coast, purchase a combination ticket. This bundles the price of transport plus admission to the attraction, such as Plopsaland, Sea Life, and the Sand Sculpture Festival. Available for purchase from 2 days in advance at Line shops in Ostend and other coastal municipalities.
Be sure to also check the seven-day pass or the ticket for your bicycle.
Our holiday homes are easily accessible by public transport. Just like any place on the coast.
Whichever of the two holiday homes you stay in, it is best to take the coastal tram towards De Panne from Ostend station.
Get off at the Oostende Northlaan stop. The Apartment is located 400 meters from this stop. The Loft is located 500 meters from this stop.

A golden tip for those on holiday by the sea who love walking? Walk in the direction of the wind. Let yourself be carried along, enjoy the sun, the beach, the sea, and each other. With the wind at your back.
Next, drink a nice Trappist beer or coffee, eat an ice cream or a waffle and... hop back on the coastal tram home. Pure enjoyment without battling the wind.

We have just returned from a week in the loft. First and foremost, a big compliment to the cleaning staff. Super clean upon our arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet and the great decor after an extremely busy period. We will definitely be back.

Top spot! Very well-maintained apartment with direct sea view! Ideally located, quiet yet close to everything. We had a wonderful week there, and this was already our third time. On top of that, Anke is a Superhost.
Bianca Stevens
Very beautiful and neat apartment! Easy and convenient to reach… nice quiet location! We would love to come back here!
Manu and Els
We did everything by bike, which we could safely store in the bicycle cellar. In the evening, we enjoyed watching TV on a big screen, just to underscore one of the many advantages of the loft. Until next time.

One of the few places where your faithful four-legged friend is also welcome. Very professional host. Everything is neat and decorated with great taste. For us, it is becoming/will remain our regular spot by the sea.
