Discover the longest tram line in the world
One of the most unique ways to explore the Belgian coast is by travelling on the Belgian Coast Tram (Kusttram), the longest tram line in the world.

With 67 stops along the route, it provides easy access to beaches, seaside towns, museums, nature reserves and many of Belgium's most popular coastal attractions.
For schools, youth organisations and sports clubs staying at J-Club De Panne, the Coast Tram offers a safe, affordable and environmentally friendly way to travel without the need for a private coach.
