Koksijde is!
Koksijde, with its 21.371 inhabitants, is situated at the west coats of Flanders (Belgium) and has 3 seasite
resorts: Sint Idesbald, Koksijde and Oostduinkerke (7,8km of coastline).
At the inland, there is also a picturesque polder village, Wulpen.
Koksijde (surfaces of the area 4395 ha) is with its vast nature reserves, also a paradise for those who are fond
of walking and cycling.
The main ‘economics’ is tourism.

Project Sintropher
As Koksijde is very depending on tourism, accessibility of our community is very important.
Also for the inhabitants, a good connection to public
transport is very crucial (home-work, airport,..)
Main accesses:
- By car: A18 (Highway)
- By tram: coastal tram (Knokke - Oostende – De Panne)
- Railway stations of Oostende and De Panne are good connected to the coastal tram
- By train: railway station Koksijde is laying on the territory of Veurne and the station (building) is not owned
by the NMBS
- Connected tot Koksijde with the bus (+/- 1h frequency)
- By bus: Line 68/69 (Oostende – Veurne)
...
- By plane: in the future
- By boat: in the future
