Why visit

Visit Westende for a simple Belgian coast segment: tram stop, beach, promenade, and a slower resort edge. It helps the Kusttram route feel like a series of usable places rather than a line on a map. It is best as part of a day that includes more than one coast town.

When to avoid

Do not visit Westende expecting it to carry the whole day alone. It is a local coast stop. Season and weather decide how long it deserves. In poor conditions, use it as a brief look rather than a destination.
