De Panne 
Description
Located just north of the border with France, this whole stretch of coast played a vital role in both World Wars. During WWI it was the HQ of the Belgium government, and the only part of the country not captured by the Germans. In World War II it's dunes, and the system that runs to beyond Dunkirk in France protected the retreating allied soldiers and helped to create the miracle of Dunkirk. Today it is a major beach resort on the Belgium coast, but you can still see the dunes that provided so much protection.

Getting There
To get there from Brugge it's a complicated trip by train, having to go quite a way back into Belgium before being able to come back again. The easiest way is to get the train to Oostende and pick up the costal tram down to De Panne (it's about 15 minutes to Oostende, and then another 90 or so on the tram)Latitude: 51.099426; Longitude: 2.591743
