 | | The Queen of the Coast's glitter has faded since its 19th-century heyday as a royal vacation spot and prestigious European watering hole, but plenty of reasons remain to justify a visit to Ostend (Oostende in Dutch; Ostende in French). |
 | | Great sandy beaches, a casino, a racetrack, art museums, a spa, good shopping, an Olympic-size indoor swimming pool, outdoor pools filled with heated seawater, sailing and windsurfing, and last but by no means least, a legitimate reputation of being a seafood cornucopia, all draw visitors to Belgium's most popular beach resort. |
 | | This lively recreational haven is very much a people's queen now, welcoming all income levels, and has little of the posh exterior that's so much a part of Knokke-Heist and Het Zoute, further up the coast. |
