An initiative by the Co-ordination Centre for Integrated Coastal Zone Management



The Belgian coast only has two beach reserves: "De Baai van Heist" and "De IJzermonding" near Lombardsijde.

De Baai van Heist

The beach reserve "De Baai van Heist" (50 ha) is located on the beach plain created by sand and silt deposits in the lee of the eastern breakwater of the port of Zeebrugge. The bare beach plain has developed into a very diverse and dynamic coastal area. Under the lee of the wet beach en some thin covered beachbanks, we now find a 'green beach' with embryonic dunes, silt, salt march and low dunes.
