From the spacious apartment with balcony on the first floor on the Digue de Mer you have a 100 percent unobstructed view of the beach and the blue-green sea. Welcome to the French Opal Coast!
In high season, this is a pleasant family destination, with a wide beach, nice promenade, shops and restaurants. Outside the summer season it is wonderfully quiet here. Ideal for getting a breath of fresh air!
The apartment
The spacious apartment has two patio doors leading to the balcony, where you can enjoy a great view over the beach and a spectacular sunset in the sea.
There is a separate, well-equipped kitchen (new appliances), a separate bathroom with shower, separate toilet, and a bedroom (sleeps 2). In the spacious living room there is a folding bed (2 people).
Free secure parking
There is a free parking space in the secure courtyard, with a bicycle shed with two bicycles for you to use. The courtyard is a 20-meter walk from the beach, perfectly suited to safely store your belongings.
Surrounded by dunes
In the coastal village, all amenities are a few minutes' walk away, such as bakery, shops, restaurants and pharmacy. It is sandwiched between two dune areas, the Dune de Perroquet and the (Belgian) Westhoek. These are protected dune reserves of more than 700 hectares together. Ideal for long walks or bike rides. The wide beach and the sea are also perfect for a sporting activity such as windsurfing, paddleboarding, kite flying, or sand yachting.
An ideal place for an active beach holiday, or to get a breath of fresh air and 'recharge'. All this less than 300 kilometers from Utrecht!

We - Karien and John - discovered this great apartment several years ago because we want to be by the sea more often. A nice place for us, for our children, and to receive friends. If we are not there ourselves, we would also like to introduce you to this wonderfully beautiful, cozy and easily accessible part of the French Opal Coast!

Additional information

On arrival and stay you have a local point of contact: Lise, the 'conciergerie'. Lise shows you around on arrival, is always approachable in case of questions and in case of emergency. She also does the check-out to receive your keys. So you have a local point of contact so that possible problems are immediately addressed by someone who is at home here.

Bray Dunes beach is a 'free beach'. This means, officially, that all activities are allowed here, at the same time and everywhere. So you see all kinds of things happening here all day. Cyclists riding up the beach from Dunkirk, horse riders at full gallop, kite surfers on the waves. And you also have 'sand yachters' here: the 'char a voile': a three-wheeled cart with a large sail on which the brave occupant can sometimes reach 100 km per hour. At the same time there is walking, on the waves you see suppers and canoeists, all year round. In addition, there are of course the walkers, swimmers and the men who fish for shrimps in the surf. In the summer months, a large activity center is open where you can rent equipment for all kinds of water sports activities and receive lessons. All this goes peacefully side by side, the beach is no less than 330 meters wide at low tide!

In the busy summer months this is a pleasant and friendly seaside resort, and due to the size of the beach it is never really crowded here. But outside the high season it is an oasis of peace and space. Similar to the Wadden Islands, but with more nature around you, and more space for long walks on the beach, through the dunes, or cycling trips in this flat part of Flemish France.

Because you live a few steps from the beach, you can take great walks here on your bare feet. There are various routes on the beach, from a few to tens of kilometers. 'Barefoot walking' goes via the beach to Dunkirk and back again (over 20 kilometers!), or you go to one of the two adjacent dune reserves (Westhoek and Les dunes Marchants) that you can enter from the beach. On this site, some great walks have been set out in and around Bray-Dunes. Website is called 'routeyou(dot)com/nl-fr/location/walk/47263030/hiking-in-bray-dunes-overview-of-all-hiking-routes'.

These restaurants are rated very positively by Michelin, without costing the top price (in the Michelin ranking, the BIB Gourmand is a recognition for top quality at a reasonable price).
Opening hours in this region are usually: lunch from 12 noon to 2 p.m., and dinner from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Reservations by telephone are a must (the former has a star and only twenty seats!).

There are many flea markets in this area, each village has its own annual flea market. The residents are then all on the street with their own business, supplemented by small-scale flea dealers. Often it is a cozy village festival, with a small fair, and a stall where you can eat and drink. The markets are also popular with many locals with a small wallet: there are plenty of second-hand children's clothes and toys, as well as practical utensils.
It is especially nice to walk around in a small village and have fun with the village entertainment among the locals. You won't encounter many foreign tourists.

In Grande-Synthe (near Dunkirk) you also have a large Emaus that attracts a lot of people from the area and even from England, because it is close to the Channel Tunnel to Calais. The prices are accordingly and it is really looking for really nice stuff here. For an agenda of all flea markets, please visit the website of Brocabrac, Nord-Pas de Calais region.
If you are looking for nicer things for still very reasonable prices, it is better to look for the many flea shops in the region. You can find it on the website called Brocantiq. (Just google it myself because I can't place any links here!)

The longest tram line in Europe starts around the corner in De Panne: the Flemish coastal tram. During the summer months, this line travels the entire coast a large number of times: from De Panne to Knokke and back again. You get on in De Panne, and get off where you want. Ideal trip for a day out. Day pass costs 4 euros (child) or 7.50 euros (adult). More information (about travel times, tickets, etc.): visit the website dekusttram(punt.be).

Just across the border in Belgium, a fifteen-minute drive away, you will find the Flemish version of the Efteling in the village of Adinkerke: Plopsaland. It may sound like something for small children, but make no mistake: it is a very popular entertainment park for the whole family. Ideal for a day out if the weather is bad or you want something different than the beach.
