The resort town of De Haan, population 11,000, dots the Belgian coastline halfway between Zeebrugge and Oostende. Walkways winding through De Haan's dunes provide a nice short hike. There are two nature reserves, "De Kijkuit" and "De Zandpanne".
Klemskerke, Vlissegem, and Wenduine are boroughs within the municipal district of De Haan.
